Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.

Antibiotics which are effective in klebsiella pneumoniae infection are levofloxacin, meropenem, amoxicillin clavulinic acid combination, cefixime clavulinic acid combination etc.
All these are higher antibiotics.
So better to get done sensitivity report.
