Hello doctor, what is the latest treatment for Klebsiella bacteria. My mother who is in ICU for more than 10 days now, is having this bacteria in her blood. She had an intestinal surgery recently. Doctors have given carbapanem which is not working. They gave Colistin from today. Please let me know if there is any other hope remaining if Colistin doesn't works. Thank you.
