Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have urinary tract infection with E coli. Your culture report suggest bacteria are resistant to all oral antibiotics. so ciprofloxacin will not help you. You should go for sensitivity testing. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Cephalosporin or meropenam like drugs may be effective. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
