How Is Enterobacter Infection Treated Without Antibiotics ?
"Honestly it is absolutely necessary for antibiotic therapy". This is the only true and effective way to eradicate the pathogenic bacteria so the good bacteria can return and repopulate the colon.
Among the antibiotics include Polymyxin B,Levofloxacin (Levaquin), or ciprofloxacin,
Doripenem (Doribax), Imipenem/cilastatin (Primaxin), Meropenem (Merrem IV),
Cefepime (Maxipime), Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Septra, Bactrim),Ertapenem (Invanz), or Tigecycline (Tygacil).
Virtually all Enterobacter infections need antibiotic therapy and I would not wait to start this as it could become a severe illness.
Let me provide you a link to a reputable website which discusses this issue. You can review this and get back to me with any additional concerns which i would be happy to address. Thank you again for your query.

I did review the history you submitted and I am sorry to hear that your son has been experiencing this tremendous challenge to his health. Your initial question was a direct one asking if there is any treatment other than antibiotics for enterobacter infection to destroy the infection. My answer to this question is no as I indicated in the original reply.
If he does have an immunodeficiency and he is having a reaction to the toxic bacteria he may need immunoglobulin supplementation in addition to something like plasmapheresis. The plasmapheresis will filter his blood to remove toxic proteins. It seems he has more than a simple infection going on and I recommend you seek referral to a major medical referral center in your country with a university affiliation. I thorough review of his complete medical record is in order and a multi-specialty consultation is needed where physicians from multiple disciplines review the history and examine him in order to provide possible treatment options. In the absence of being able to examine him myself this is the best suggestion I have. I have spoken to several colleagues about this case and they agree a thorough review of his entire medical record is needed so that details of all treatments can be evaluated.
I thank you again for submitting your query. I remain available if you have additional concerns or clarifications you would like to discuss.
Sincerely,
