| Hello, folks. My sister got a urinary infection. Her urine was examined and there was found Escherichia Coli. I would like to know which antibiotics are used for dealing with this bacterium. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me this. Thanks in advance for all your replies. Bye, guys! |

| Hello. Escherichia coli can be sensitive to various antibiotics. However, growing resistance is a problem today. Since a doctor cannot know which antibiotics a certain patient’s E. coli is sensitive to, he orders biogram and antibiogram. That means that if any bacterium is isolated, then immediately its sensitivity to antibiotics will be examined. A doctor looks at this scheme and prescribes medications. E. coli is usually sensitive to amoxicillin, cephalosporins, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, nitrofurantoin, ciprofloxacin and others. I hope everything will be all right. Please, let me know which antibiotic you will get. Good luck! |
