10 Week Baby, UTI Developed To Ecoli Sepstesimia, Klebsiella Pneumonia. Can She Get Rid Of Bacteria?

hi my baby got ill at 10 weeks and after tests the doctors say she had a bad uti which developed to Ecoli sepstesimia. She was on a dose of antibiotics but after doing a urine test now she has Klebsiella Phnumonia. Please advise what is the best to do with this. She is only 3 months and going on such strong medication. Do baby girls ever get rid of the bacteria after a UTI?
