THanks for the query
It is a significant colony count. See the lab which does tests for higher antibiotics like piperacillin with tazobactum, meropenem, amikacin, etc. These drugs can be used for the same. Bladder wash can also be given regularly if it is cystitis.\
Drink lots of cranberry juice. Sugarless
