KIEBSIELA IS ONE OF THE COMMON BACTERIA , OTHER BEING E'COLI, WHICH IS FREQUENTLY THE CAUSE OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION WHICH YOUR DAUGHTER HAS. IT IS DEFINATELY TREATABLE AND YOU GOT TO GET HER URINE CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY TEST DONE . THE REPORT WILL TAKE 48 HOURS SINCE THE PROCEDURE WILL GROW AND ISOLATE THE BACTERIA CAUSING INFECTION AND WILL BE TESTED WITH VARIOUS ANTIBIOTCS TO SEE WHICH IS MOST EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE BACTERIA.
