I am currently taking oral Bactrim. My concern is the culture report from My urinalysis came back Today the culprit is "Citrobacter Koseri (diversus) being that this was the cause of UTI and Prostate Issues is there a concern of meningitis because they were speaking of that in hospital.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Urinary tract infection or prostate issues would not affect the meninges unless a septicemia happens.
2. At present the infection is localized and nothing to worry about. Hope you have no headache or neck rigidity.
3. Based on culture and sensitivity report, if appropriate antibiotic is started, the infection will disappear. No need to worry about meningitis.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
