What Antibiotics Treat Klebsiella Pneumoniae. Tigecycline a glycylcycline antimicrobial agent that is structurally similar to tetracycline has been used to treat CRKP-related infections and is often active against carbapenemaseproducing K. Pneumoniae infections include beta-lactams such as cephalosporins and carbapenems aminoglycosides such as gentamycin and quinolones Qureshi 2015. Microbiology labs can test the bacteria causing the infection to determine what if any treatment is available. Combination therapy of two or more of the agents as mentioned earlier may decrease mortality as compared to monotherapy alone.
Pneumoniae infections are treated with antibiotics but some strains have developed drug resistance. Pneumoniae that contain effective resistance mechanisms. Tigecycline a glycylcycline antimicrobial agent that is structurally similar to tetracycline has been used to treat CRKP-related infections and is often active against carbapenemaseproducing K. Management of antimicrobial resistance in multi-drug-resistant-Klebsiella pneumoniae MDR-KP is a major challenge for clinicians. Pneumoniae protective capsule polysaccharide allowing immune system cells called neutrophils to attack and kill the bacteria. Li Y 1 Zhang L 2 Zhou Y 2 Zhang Z 2 Zhang X 2.
Persons diagnosed with a Klebsiella-related illness must follow the treatment as prescribed by the health care provider.
The optimal treatment option for MDR-KP infections is still not well established. Pneumoniae protective capsule polysaccharide allowing immune system cells called neutrophils to attack and kill the bacteria. Segal-Maurer S Mariano N Qavi A et al. The study warrants the prudent choice of drugs in adherence with prevailing sensitivity profiles. Doctors typically use antibiotics to treat K. These infections are very difficult to treat with normal antibiotics.
