Hi,

I understand your concern regarding resistant infection in your case. Bacteria like E.coli develops resistance very easily and hence antibiotics use has to be restricted and used only when very necessary. I would suggest another culture and sensitivity to determine a sensitive antibiotic. E coli is also susceptible to third generation cephalosporins and combination of cephalosporin with penicillinase inhibitor. I would suggest you discuss with your treating doctor the mentioned choices and get a prescription for the same.
Thanks.
