Can Klebsiella pneumoniae be transmitted to family members

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common bacterium that is normally found in the mouth, throat, and intestines of the human body. In some cases, this bacterium can cause diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infections, etc. So, can Klebsiella pneumoniae be transmitted to your family?

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterium that can be spread through the air. If a family member is infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae, he or she releases the bacteria into the air when he or she coughs, sneezes, or talks. Other family members can also get Klebsiella pneumoniae if they inhale these bacteria.

Klebsiella pneumoniae can also be spread by contact.If a family member is infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae, he or she may have the bacteria present in the mouth, nose, throat, skin, and other areas. Other family members who come into contact with these areas can also become infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Klebsiella pneumoniae can also be spread through food or water. If a family member is infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae, his or her stool, saliva, etc., may contain the bacteria. Other family members can also become infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae if they eat food or drink water that has been touched by an infected person. After Klebsiella pneumoniae infects humans, it may not be contagious to patients who have been in close contact with it, because Klebsiella pneumoniae is currently a bacterium and is not infectious.
