Hello and welcome to HCM, The urine analysis reports suggests presence of urinary tract infection (UTI). The infectious bacteria is found to be E coli. The drug sensitivity is done to select the antibiotics effective against the particular strain of bacteria. Thus, one of the antibiotics listed in the drug sensitivity list has to be selected. One of the antibiotic will have to be taken since the infection will not resolve till antibiotic is used.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
