Klebsiella is a conditionally pathogenic microorganism of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Klebsiella cells are large gram-negative rods that look like capsules. The shell helps them survive in adverse conditions - in water, soil, food. They are anaerobic, that is, they can live without access to air, although the presence of oxygen does not frighten them. They are afraid only of boiling. These bacterial sticks are built in different ways - one by one, in pairs or one by one by a chain. Klebsiella capsules are immobile, they do not form spores.
Klebsiella rate in calle
In feces the amount of Klebsiella cells is examined in the analysis for dysbiosis. The norm of Klebsiella content in feces is considered to be their quantity, not exceeding 105 cells in 1 gram.
Causes of activation of Klebsiella
Independently Klebsiella can not begin to act. There are several reasons for its activation:
- weakening of immunity;
- unwashed hands;
- contaminated food;
- contact with pets;
- infection from the Klebsiella carrier by airborne droplets;
- frequent colds;
- taking antibiotics for a long time;
- presence of diabetes mellitus ;
- alcoholism and drug addiction.
The main types of Klebsiella
There are 7 types of klebsiella:
- klebsiella pneumoniae (Klebsiella pneumonia)
- klebsiella ozaenae (klebsiella ozena)
- klebsiella rhinoscleromatis (klebsiella rhinoscleroma)
- klebsiella ornithinolytica
- klebsiella oxytoca (klebsiella oxytoca)
- klebsiella planticola
- klebsiella terrigena.
After activation, the Klebsiella generates toxins, which cause infectious diseases in various organs. The most important are the Klebsiella pneumoniae (Klebsiella pneumoniae) and the klebsiella oxytoc, which are found in the feces, can be found in the gastrointestinal tract, on the skin and mucous respiratory tract. Klebsiella pneumonia from the family of enterobacteria. It is very resistant to high temperatures and antibiotics in large quantities, which causes difficulties in the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by this bacterium.
Than to treat klebsiella in a feces?
Klebsiella treatment in the feces should be handled by a specialist. In the mild form of the course of an infectious disease, probiotics are usually prescribed:
- Linex ;
- Hilak Forte;
- Bifiform;
- Bifidumbacterin.
They help to push out the pathogenic microflora and at the same time populate the gastrointestinal tract with normal beneficial bacteria. In most cases this is enough. However, with severe forms of diseases accompanied by fever, abdominal pain, antibiotics should be used, after which the flora of the intestine is restored with useful bacteriophages.
