hello

i am hoping someone else has perhaps had the same experience as me, after 4-5 weeks of frequent urination , Klebsiella was found in my urine after 4 different types of antibiotics, i am now taking selexid ( pivmecillinam) which seems to be working at day2... reading up on this bacteria it seems odd to have this as ive not had a catheter or been in hospital, due to covid year, i have been probably stressed and run down, drinking too much probably ( no covid though) so maybe my immune system was low, has anyone else had experience of this infection ? would be really interested in replies, this seems to be a super bug and unusual for utis, im 39 thank you!
