Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.

You have recurrent urinary tract infection because of cetrobacter infection. cetrobacter is gram negative bacteria.

In Cetrobacter infection more chanses of multidrugs resistance. So this infection recurrence because of incomplete treatment.

Do urine culture and sensitivity test after that give a any antibiotics.

Sometime in prostate enlargement may cause recurrent infection of cetrobacter.

Diabetes like condition may cause recurrent urinary infections.
Check your blood sugar level.

Consent a urologist for further diagnosis.

I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thank you very much.
