For those with Klebsiella urinary tract, I have found D-Mannose 500mg to be very helpful in keeping the bladder flushed out. It's natural, you can observe quickly if it's helping clear you... along w/ sipping diluted cranberry juice.
Hi, I have been struggling with Klebsiella Pneumonia infection in my bladder for 2 years; still fighting it! despite having been given 6 courses of Prophylactic Antibiotics. My urine clears up in the first few days of the treatment. But after a few weeks, and now only a couple weeks on the lower dose of Antibiotic, the infection is back. So with the last 3 antibiotic treatments, I have not been able to complete the treatment. Are there any other treatments I should be considering?
Just had this. On a 14 day course of Cephalexin 500 MG caps, 1 a day. Seems to be working. What did your doctor prescribe? If you have recurring UTIs, ask the Dr. about Methenamine. This is not an antibiotic, it acts to create a more hostile chemistry to UTIs so that they don't develop. FYI, you cannot take it while you are on antibiotics.
@@glennferrell2902 Hi Glenn, Thanks for your message and sharing your experience; it is extremely helpful to me! I have been struggling with Klebsiella Pneumonia for two and a half years. Rotating the following antibiotics on prophylactic treatments, 3 months each time: Cefalexin, Trimethoprim, Nitrofurantoin. High dose for 5 days + low dose for the rest of the 3 months. Finally for the last 3 treatments: Pevmecillinam 3 days + one of the antibiotics mentioned above, in a lower dose for the following 3 months. With these last 3 treatments the infection was back during the treatments, after app 15 / 18 days. After speaking with the Microbiologists, my GP suggested, that after a short course of antibiotic, this time Cefalexin 250 mgs x 2 time daily for 7 days, I should take Methenamine 1 g / twice a day, in conjunction with 1000 mg Vitamin C Time Release. For the first time, from this last treatment, I am infection free for now 6 Weeks (42 Days today). I am not out of the woods yet, but it seems to be working! Fingers Crossed!
@@glennferrell2902 Hi my 90 year old dad has the same gram negative bacteria growing and dr took him off keflex said it was resistant. How are you doing with your infection was it resolved?
My first time around I no idea what is going on It’s like hush hush from my medical team How do u even know if the antibiotics work After I finish the antibiotics will I be re-tested hmmmmm
Also I am in USA.....primary doctors don't test for that normally in USA, they say the labs they use don't test for it an they don't know where to send it out to...so how can i find out if i have this or not? Should i go to an infectious disease doctor to get answers? If not I wonder what other condition would make you extremely drunk from food and even when not eating food, plus blurred eye sight at same time. Blood sugar is good, not diabetic. Besides cancer haven't been sick in over 20 years. My life is ruined and I am feeling sicker and sicker now...especially my gut...bloating, diahreah for 30 days, still on going, full when eating after a few bites..only tiny soft bowel movements once daily.. Did your doctors test by blood, stool or how? What kind of doctor was it? Thanks everyone.
Do you have a health plan? Are you a senior? Yes, you need immediate attention. Check your temperature. Go to urgent care if you have access to it. Do you also have urinary track symptoms? That's the easiest way to get medical to run a test. But seek medical help and if you can access an infectious disease specialist, it makes sense to investigate. Be Your Best Advocate. You are #1. 🙏
@@TruePathLiving Christina, I was being treated with a combination of Bactrim DS 800MG & Septra DS 160MG- then discovered my bug was resistent to this antibiotic. This infection has brought me to my knees in misery. And, I see you just posted and are likely feeling lousy and scared too. I'm learning everything I can about this insidious bug. Carla
and, when I was first diagnosed with a UTI Klebsiella Pneumoniae, I was told it was antibiotic resistant, given no directional guidance except to go to ER if it got worse... so it perkolated, metastasized to my upper gut and created toxic lesions. Another urinalysis came back positive but fortunately, my doctor was on vacation, and her substitute wrote the prescription. I mentioned my concerns about having the bug for awhile, but he assured me the lab grew a culture and appeared Bactrim/Septra were effective... I hope so. I've been on the drugs for a week, and the abdominal pain is worsening, I hope the bug is dying and it's the damages from it I'm feeling and need to heal. Got one more week, by request, for antibiotics... they only prescribe a weeks worth and my research reveals it's usually 10-14 days ... so I'm glad I squeeked... and should I survive, I've initiated action to change health care plans.
Good morning doctor I am writing to you from Italy, I am caring for an 86 year old father who had a urinary tract infection. We performed a urine culture and it was positive for Klebsiella Pneumoniae. but it is also ESBL positive (Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase) which I understand has great resistance to all antibiotics I wouldn't know how to behave Today he started a new therapy based on Cefixoral Cephalosporin generation III/IV You must do 7 days and after 10 a new urine culture Could you give me your opinion on this? I thank you and wish you a good job.
ESBL are quite difficult to handle, The combinatorial therapy he os undergoing seems to be appropriate. The doctors has to monitor the status periodically to see the bacteria is eliminated or not. Point to be noted it will take some time to heal.
@@animatedbiologywitharpan Today I read that Ciprofloxacin can eradicate ESBLs and non-ESBLs, is that true? another question, does it have a mortality rate if it is found in urine tract ? Best regards

Is it sensitive to Septra ( bactrim) ?
I didn't get your question. Could you please elaborate
@@animatedbiologywitharpan is klebsiella treated by the antibiotic Septra ( Bactrim )

Good morning doctor
I am writing to you from Italy, I am caring for an 86 year old father who had a urinary tract infection.
We performed a urine culture and it was positive for Klebsiella Pneumoniae.
but it is also ESBL positive
(Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase) which I understand has great resistance to all antibiotics
I wouldn't know how to behave
Today he started a new therapy based on Cefixoral Cephalosporin generation III/IV
You must do 7 days and after 10 a new urine culture
Could you give me your opinion on this?
I thank you and wish you a good job.
