A member asked:
I have klebsiella pneumoniae uti. are there any special precautions i should take at home to prevent my loved ones getting sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly: It is a less common germ than others that cause a UTI but not rare. It is also not easily spread by someone with a UTI yo anyone else. I cannot think of a setting that would let that happen.
