against similar Gram-negative bacteria, they are usable for
Haemophilus
infections, especially sida, given its strong protective effects on red blood cells. I would use them myself without hesitation.

Klebsiella
The main species that causes human infection is
K. pneumoniae
, but
K. oxytoca
and
K. rhinoscleromatis
occasionally do, too. Most infections occur in the lungs, but they also can occur in the urinary tract, the biliary tract, the lower respiratory tract, and surgical wounds. The organism can cause pneumonia, bacteremia, urinary tract infections, diarrhea, cholecystitis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, thrombophlebitis, and respiratory infections. Generally, infections are caused by hospital staff from bacteria on their hands or bacterial colonization of invasive apparatus, and sometimes patientsâ GI tracts are contaminated.
When
Klebsiella
infect the lung tissue, necrosis, inflammation, and hemorrhage often occur, giving rise to a thick, bloody mucus; it looks something like currant jelly (so they say).
Klebsiella
organisms are often multidrug resistant, producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL). These strains are highly virulent and spread promiscuously. The mortality rate is around 50 percent, irrespective of antibiotic use. They are one of the fastest-growing resistant infections in U.S. hospitals and are common throughout the world. The newest resistant form is referred to as CRKP (carbapenem-resistant
Klebsiella pneumoniae
). Very dangerous.
The herbs useful for
Klebsiella
are cryptolepis, alchornea, bidens, black pepper, juniper, the berberine plants,
Acacia
,
Artemisia annua
, reishi, licorice, and honey.
