What Causes A Klebsiella Pneumoniae Infection?

I have been diagnosed with Klebsiella pneumatic per culture growth. What is this and how did I get it? I have had flank pain and swelling on right side, fever, chills and neausea for month, also a strong smell. Iced had a lot of gi surgeries and have had most of my stomach and small intestines removed. 2 yrs ago out of nowhere I got sick and within 12 hours my kidneys had started shutting down from ecoli and 2 other infectious diseases. I was my hands constantly and I don t understand where this is coming from.
