Brief Answer: UTI In pregnancy Detailed Answer: Hi Dear XXXXXXX Thanks for choosing health care magic for your query. I have gone through your query and your reports and I understand your concern regarding UTI not responding to antibiotics prescribed to you. I want to elaborate on few details about UTI in pregnancy. UTI is the most common infection occurring in pregnancy. The bacteria causing UTI in pregnancy include E.coli, Klebsiella, Proteus and Staphylococcus which usually develop resistance to many antibiotics. Hence they are called multidrug resistant organisms. So it becomes very important to first do a culture sensitivity of urine and then only prescribe appropriate antibiotics. Your doctor has prescribed appropriate antibiotics based on the culture report. Even though many antibiotics show sensitivity in your report only few of them can be prescribed during pregnancy. The list is mentioned below: 1. Nitrofurantoin 2. Amoxicillin 3. Amoxy-Clav 4. Cephalexin 5. Cephotaxime I suggest you complete the full course of nitrofurantoin prescribed and follow the following to prevent recurrence of infection: 1. Good hygiene and cleanliness has to be maintained in the perineal area as much as possible. 2. Wipe from front to back while cleaning the anal area after passing stools to avoid contamination of urethra by feces. 3. Wash hands before and after using the toilet. 4. Use washcloths to clean the genital area. 5. Clean the area near the urethra with soap during bathing. These will prevent recurrence of the infection. I hope I have answered your query satisfactorily. Please get back if any more clarifications. Thanks.
