What is it?
Klebsiella pneumoniae is rarely an issue for healthy adults and is most commonly seen as a cause of pneumonia in people who have difficulty swallowing, usually during an episode of hospitalization [1]. However, it is associated with antibiotic-resistant infections so we consider it worth monitoring.
We consider low to undetectable levels of Klebsiella pneumoniae to be optimal. The best way to combat Klebsiella pneumoniae is to encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria that will outcompete them for resources. (Adapted from Tiny Health)
