Best course of treatment for bacteria infection of Enterobacter aerogenes and Klebsiella oxytoca on face?

afterfueMar 23, 2016
The infection is on right side of my face. I had an FUE scalp to beard transplant. After the FUE doc kept telling me to wait it out and did not do any test after I reported it felt infected. I went to a derm who did a test and the results were "Heavy growth of Enterobacter aerogenes Heavy growth of Klebsiella oxytoca"
