Hi.
This is the Culture and sensitivity report of your sputum.Klebsiella pneumonia is the Bacteria found in the culture which is responsible for sputum production.
It will be reduced or destroyed with the Drugs which are given under SENSITIVE section.As it is Resistant to Ampicillin,This drug will have no action or there will be no response with this drug.
But,Consult your Local doctor as few drugs can be taken Orally and few should be given in Injection form only.
Regards

thank you.
it is a test of respiratory tract infection(pneumonia) which identify the causative organism.
it also describes the sensitive antibiotic which acts properly against the particular organism & also the resistant drug which can not work.
