It is a type of organism causing infection in vagina and can be treated .
Nothing related to pneumonia.

She is not diabetic or suffering any other medical conditions. I will get a test as well.

Do you think she will need the IV of Laricef or Amikacin, and if so, which is better?

Brief Answer:
Should follow your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
So many factors are involved in treatment. The doctor who examined her vagina and body will be a better person to decide on treatment. It is curable, hence follow your doctor's instructions. I cannot prescribe any medicine as I don't have further details of the patient. It is not correct to prescribe medicines by seeing culture report without examining vagina and cervix.
