Question: Hi, Thank you for answering my previous question. I am not sure if you can see my previous conversation with doctor. I am just pasting the link for my previous conversation so that you can get the details. WWW.WWWW.WW As per Gastroenterologist, Dr. XXXXXXX Jain's suggestion I tried the medicine Oflex -oz which has antibiotics ofloxacin and ornidazole. The tablet OFlex-oz also give some comfort but still I have flatulence, and imcomplete bowel evacuation. I was not happy with the stool routine and stool culture results. So I decided to go for the test once again from some other health center. I took both tests (stool routine and culture) once again while I was taking OFlex-oz tables. I will attach the result in the image file. Please take a look at this and suggest me further. I am expecting answers from experienced Gastroenterologist like XXXXXXX XXXXXXX

Hello Doctor, I had uploaded the reports but let me once again type all the details in report. 1)Stool Culture Specimen --Stool Microscopic Observation --Gram Negative bacilli seen Organism Isolated -- Escherichia coli Antibiogram Sensitive-- Amikacin (AIK), Cefdinir CN, Getamicin GEN, Nitrofurantoin FU Intermediate Sensitive -- Cefotaxime CX, Ceftazidime CZ Resistant-- Aztreonam AT, Cefixime FX, Ceftriaxone FR, Cefuroxime sodium CR, Ciprofloxacin CI, Nalidixic acid NA, Noefloxacin NF, Ofloxacin OFL The above was stool culture conducted when I was taking Oflex -oz which has antibiotics ofloxacin and ornidazole. 2) Below is my Stool routine report Microscopy Ova -nil Cyst-nil RBCs/hpf -nil PUS/hpf 2-5/hpf Others-nil Bacteria- Normal Chemical Reaction- Alkaline Occult Blood - Absent Reducing Substance -nil The above 2 are latest reports. But in my previous stool routine test which was conducted just 1 month back from some other diagnostic center has different report. Old report goes like this Microscopic Examination OVA/CYST not found PUS CeLLS - 2-4/hpf RBC - 00/hpf, Bacteria - Present, Vagitative Forms - Present, Stool reducing substance - Negative I googled for Vegitative forms and found that it is (Entamoeba coli). Am I right? While this report was conducted I didn't take any antibiotics. But during the latest 2 reports I had taken antibiotics Oflex-OZ which I have mentioned earlier.

Hello Doctor, Thank you for answering. Now I am taking Nitrofurantoin 100mg 4 times a day for next 5 days. I am finding lot of difference in my motion today. I have 2 questions 1) Is the above mentioned douse fine for Nitrofurantoin ? 2) If I am not wrong you prescribed Nitrofurantoin for Gram Negative bacilli. Will this antibiotic also treat Escherichia coli ? because in the culture report it was mentioned that "Organism Isolated -- Escherichia coli". 3) If Nitrofurantoin cannot fight with Escherichia coli then should I try any other antibiotics? Thanks, Sachin
