Dealing with Klebsiella pneumoniae
in Women's Health ·
So, about a month ago, I had this bacterium show up in my urine culture results. Because of some other health issues I've been dealing with, I wasn't actually able to start any antibiotics until just a few days ago.
Does anyone here know much more about this specific bacterium—specifically how similar it is to E. coli—and is it generally harder to clear out? I've heard it can be incredibly stubborn, sometimes coming back and forcing you to redo the whole treatment course 😢
Also, a quick question regarding my partner. Is this bacterium dangerous for him too—meaning, am I able to pass it over to him?
