Thank you, I just received a path report from urgent care. Its states I have Greater than 100,000 CFU/mL of Escherichia Coli. Do I need to get on an antibiotic? The Dr gave me SMZ/TMP if I wasn t feeling better. Would this be the correct antibiotic to treat this infection? Malinda
Dear Friend. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your query in detail. Furthermore, I understand your concern. You can take this antibiotic, but before you start on it, get Urine antibiotic sensitivity done. I suppose, since have got a report of E. Coli growth in urine then there must be associated report of Antibiotic sensitivity. Your doctor must have checked that and given you this antibiotic. This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me. Stay Healthy. ChatDoctor, MD
