Among all the reasons for the development of inflammatory diseases of the digestive system, the leading place is occupied by Klebsiella in the intestine. It is a fixed conditionally pathogenic bacterium belonging to the group of Gram-negative rods. In a healthy organism, the Klebsiella is a representative of the normal microflora of the mucous membranes, intestines and skin. In the pathological multiplication of this gram-negative rod, there are klebsiella infections.
Where does an adult in the gut appear klebsiella?
It is possible to infect the bacterium from its carrier, but the main reason for infection with klebsiella is the violation of the rules of basic personal hygiene, for example, the use of unwashed vegetables and fruits, eating without first washing hands. With a decreased activity of the immune system, the bacterium is also transmitted by airborne droplets - by sneezing, coughing.
Symptoms of klebsiella in the intestine
The signs of the described pathology depend on the organs that have been infected. But even if pathogens penetrate only into the intestinal mucosa, they multiply rapidly and migrate through the circulatory system, so clinical manifestations can be both isolated and generalized.
Symptoms of nasal sinus and upper respiratory tract infection:
- rhinoscleroma;
- atrophy of the mucous membrane and bones of the nose;
- fetid smell;
- cough with mucus;
- purulent discharge from the nose;
- a runny nose, a feeling of stuffiness;
- sore throat;
- formation of crusts on the internal mucous membranes.
Clinical manifestations of Klebsiella pneumonia:
- fever;
- weakness;
- sweating;
- dyspnea;
- dry cough ;
- sputum production from the lungs with pus, impurities of blood, an unpleasant odor;
- wheezing during breathing.
When the bladder and urinary tract are affected, the following symptoms develop:
- pain when urinating;
- cystitis;
- pyelonephritis;
- dull pain in the lower abdomen;
- intermittent urination in small portions.
Also, multiplication of Klebsiella is accompanied by severe disruption of the digestive system:
- heat;
- acute gastritis;
- enteritis;
- enterocolitis ;
- diarrhea with mucus, blood;
- nausea;
- lack of appetite;
- heartburn.
Than to treat klebsiella in the intestine?
As a rule, with mild infection of the digestive tract, bacteriophage Klebsiella pneumonia and various probiotics are prescribed:
- Primadofilus;
- Probiophore;
- Acipol;
- Bifidumbacterin;
- Atzilact;
- Bifiform;
- Linex;
- Biovestin;
- Beefilong.
Rarely klebsiella in the intestine is to be treated with antibiotics - penicillins, tetracyclines, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, and sometimes fluoroquinolones. Appoint an effective drug can only a doctor after the analysis of the sensitivity of bacteria to the selected medicine.
