A member asked:
If synovial fluid analysis shows "klebsiella species" is this really bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not good: Iv the specimen was obtained sterile, you have a joint infection. Klebsiella can be drug resistant, but often is not. It is treatable, but you may be on antibiotics for 6-8 weeks.
