“I have been detected with E.coli bacteria in my UTI. What are the antibiotics that help in treating this bacteria?”
I have recently been diagnosed with a urinary infection. I just got my reports today which indicated the presence of E.coli bacteria. My doctor is currently travelling, which is why wanted to check with you on the antibiotics that can be helpful in treating this bacteria. Secondly, does E.coli bacteria stay in the body causing a possible relapse?

E. Coli. can be sensitive to many antibiotics and can also be resistant to many, they are called ESBL. Therefore, you need to see the result of urine culture to see which antibiotic your E. Coli infection is sensitive to. If UTI is treated properly, repeat your urine culture within 3-7 days to be sure the culture become negative.
