How can you rid klebsiella in intestines? took 10 days suprax (cefixime) for uti. would this kill off the kleb. p? 2nd uti since jan. w/ klep. p. feces spread?

Normal flora: Klebsiella in the bowel is part of normal flora. But may become more resistant if antibiotics are used that attain high concentration in the bowel. If appropriate conditions that relate to a UTI such as poor bladder emptying, a foreign body such as a catheter, exist, the klebsiella in the stool can colonize the urethra and cause a uti.
