It's a multidrug resistant bacteria, and it can be treated with cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and carbapenems in case of beta-lactamase production; only with carbapenems in case of ESBL production; and with colistin, tigecycline or fosfomycin in case of carbapenemases production.

肺炎克雷伯杆菌也是一种多重耐药菌，如果产生β-内酰胺酶，可以用头孢菌素、氨基糖苷类、氟喹诺酮类以及碳青霉烯类药物治疗；如果产生ESBL，可以只应用碳青霉烯类进行治疗；如果产生碳青霉烯酶，则应用多粘菌素、替加环素或磷霉素进行治疗。
