How long is a uti from klebdiella pneumoniae contagious after i start antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Klebsiella pneumonia: Uti's aren't generally contagious. Even if your having intercourse its unlikely your partner will acquire this. Having said that..After several doses of antibiotic the bacteria counts drop very significantly.
