Urine culture showed infected with klebsiella aerogenes. Treatment to be done?
Answered by
Thank you for the query.
With every urine culture result there should be antibiogram (the sensitivity and resistance for antibiotics of this bacteria). However, this bacteria can be treated with Ciprofloxacine 500mg twice a day for 5 days. After 5 days the infection should go away.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
From mentioned antibiotics the safest and most common is Nutrofurantoin 50mg twice a day for 5 days.
Hope this will help.
Regards.

MD Hi
About 5 weeks ago I developed cystitis which I tried to get rid of myself by drinking plenty of fluids and cranberry juice. I couldn't get rid of it and was presribed trimethroprim for 3 days, this did nothing so I went to GP again on 4 day as I was vomiting and was unable to keep anything down by then. The GP prescribed Ciprofloxacin and painkillers but I couldn't keep these down either. By the following day my skin was a yellow colour and I was taken into hospital for 5 days and given Augumentum through a drip and the infection was the E-coli bacteria. I went home with 2 more days of antibiotics to take orally. I was still experiencing pain in the flank about 4 days after taking my last antibiotic so I called the Dr and blood test confirmed I still had the infection. I was given Augmentum for 7 days but 5 days after taking the last one I was still feeling bad. I was given Nitrofurdantoin on Friday to take 4 times a day but the pain seems to be getting worse. I am also anaemic and have been taking ferrous fulmurate since January. If I go back to the GP should I be asking to see a specialist?
MD Yes. I have klebsiella pneumoniae of the urinary tract. Does one ever recover from this infection? I have been quite ill for the last month. I have diabetes, high BP, hypothyroidism, chronic bronchitis, interstitial cystitis. I started out with bactrim, am now on trimethoprim and flagyl. I am 75 yrs of age.
