How can enterobacter cloacae infection be cured? Is there a vaccine or antibiotic that works specifically against this bacterium? How can you get infected with it? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
How can Enterobacter cloacae be cured?
Good day. My name is Ola and I have a very important question for you. I have been suffering from purulent angina for several months. The disease disappeared for a while, but then it returned anyway and I had the impression that it was even stronger. When I went to the doctor’s appointment, he immediately stated that I needed to have a throat swab. The results were terrible. It turned out that they are in my body enterobacter cloacae strains. Unfortunately, the ENT doctor spread his hands and said he did not know how to treat this bacterium.
Before I was found to have this bacterium, I had taken antibiotics, but it didn’t help. I am asking for your opinion on treatment of enterobacter cloacae. Is there any vaccine, antibiotic etc. which are prescribed to people like me? What was the reason I got infected with it at all? I work as a hotel service on a daily basis and I often travel to work in various facilities throughout the city. Nevertheless, I always took care of hygiene and often washed my hands while working. I am desperate for all this. Thank you for your help. I wish you all the best. Ola.
Your doctor explains how Enterobacter cloacae infections are treated
Enterobacter cloacae bacteria belong to the gram-negative enterobacteria. These bacteria are often responsible for nosocomial infections. They are characterized by a low degree of pathogenicity, i.e. the ability to cause disease. Unfortunately, when it does become ill, choosing the right treatment can be difficult because bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics. This means that sometimes the same antibiotic may turn out to be ineffective. Then it is worth taking an antibiogram, the result of which will show the most appropriate antibiotic acting on the bacteria.
Then the use of such an antibiotic will most likely lead to a cure. Unfortunately, we often do not know when the infection occurs. Often times it is simply a weakening of the body. Acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis, i.e. angina, is most often caused by viruses. The most common bacteria causing angina are Streptococcus pyogenes (group A ß-hemolytic streptococcus – PBHA). Bacterial infections often develop as a complication of primary viral infection. It is very important to distinguish between viral and bacterial etiology, which allows for the application of appropriate treatment.
Administration of antibiotics too often and unnecessarily causes the bacteria to become resistant to them, ie the antibiotics stop working against them. However, there are cases when antibiotic therapy is necessary and must be administered. Effective treatment is very important to prevent possible further complications. Bacterial angina has a sudden and acute onset, and viral angina it is usually milder.
I suggest that you visit the ENT specialist again in order to choose the next procedure. Perhaps it is worth going to a specialist with more experience. After collecting a full history and examining the patient, the doctor will decide on the selection of the necessary further diagnostics and select the appropriate treatment.
