Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
First of all, you have not mentioned the sample you have got tested. Klebsiella is a gram negative bacteria which most commonly causes lung infection, urinary tract infection and rarely wound infection.
Klebsiella infection can be treated effectively by broad spectrum antibiotics.
I suggest you get a prescription from your treating doctor for effective antibiotics based on the sensitivity report.
I hope I have helped.
Thanks.
