Enterococcal infection is rare. Collect mid stream urine after proper prepucial retraction and then go for Urine Routine and culture. Treat with proper antibiotics.
UTI scan probably includes Ultrasound KUB with PVR. This may later be followed by MCU if required depending on the ultrasound findings.
