Patient: Dear Sir, I have been operated on 14th.June,2016 TURB T (Urine bladder tumor)since then, I am suffer from Klebsiella pneumoniae _100000 colonies/ml f grown. (Urine Culture test) on 24.4.17. I have also taken treatment of Discontinued sachet for 3-4 times (weekly) I have also taken Golden seal capsules, but to no effect, please guide me what to do. Here, I may add that I m a diabetic patient aged 62 yrs. Ajay Gupta. Email YYYY@YYYY . thanks and regards. Doctor: Hello,if your doctor believes that this is true infection then an antibiogram would help to guide treatment. Previous exposure to antibiotics, recent hospitalization and other factors may increase the chances for resistant pathogens, which means that commonly used antibiotics won't probably work. So what you've got to do is to check whether an antibiogram has been done and let your doctor decide for the best treatment option. It would be too risky to suggest any treatment right now without the antibiogram as it is very likely to fail...I hope you find my comments helpful!Kind Regards!
