Klebsiella pneumoniae

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterium that can be found in the gut and other parts of the body. In balanced amounts, it may be present without causing problems, but higher levels can point to opportunistic overgrowth, meaning that the bacterium has gained more space when the normal bacterial balance is weakened. This marker is useful because Klebsiella pneumoniae can reflect a shift toward bacteria that may grow when the gut microbiome is less balanced, especially when combined with changes in stool quality, gas, diarrhoea, or signs of digestive irritation.
