I started having recurrent uti in March this year.last month I went to the urgent care the saw little infection in urine, so doctor gave me Nutrofurantoin MONO-MCR 100mg twice a day for 5 days and he sent the urine to culture and he told when he gets the result if there is need to change the medicine hell contact me..8 days later my symptoms got better but not all the way.. And no one contacted me. So I went to the medical record and I got the result . It shows that I have EC and KLEPNE. The sensitivity of the medicine that the doctor prescribed it is S for the EC but it's Intermediate for the KLEPNE.and the test shows that there is many antibiotics that are S or XXXXXXX for the KLEPNE..
