Hello
Thanks for query .Your father who is known to have diabetic nephropathy has been detected to have UTI due to E-Coli organisms .
The culture and sensitivity test must have mentioned the sensitivity pattern of organisms .
Nitrofurantoin (Niftas ) and Ciprofloxacin both are prescribed in UTI .There is nothing like which one is better out of these two .
You need to give him appropriate antibiotic as per culture report to control infection .
