Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

The choice of a specific antimicrobial agent or agents depends on local susceptibility patterns and on the part of the body that is infected. For patients with severe infections, a prudent approach is the use of an initial short course (48-72 h) of combination therapy, followed by a switch to a specific mono-therapy once the susceptibility pattern is known for the specific patient.

Klebsiella is resistant to many antibiotic, may not respond.Not to worry, Proper antibiotic treatment helps remove his infection.

Consult your doctor for further management.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
