I have been taking faropenem tablets for the last 5 days and recently took a urine test -- report attached. It still shows pus cells in 2-4 hpf count with luekocytes present. I had taken a urine culture test and the organism isolated was citrobacter koseri for which I took faropenem. Can you tell me what other tests and medication can be taken? What is the source of this bacteria? Thanks.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Citrobacter kosher is a gram negative coccobacilli which cause urinary tract infections commonly. It is normally present in intestinal flora and causes infection in immunocompromised patients. These bacterium are known to be resistant to many antibiotics and requires broad spectrum antibiotics.  These bacterium are susceptible to carotene, and I suggest you continue the prescribed antibiotics for 5 more days. Thanks.
