How To Rid Of UTI With The Presence Of Citrobacter Koseri?
I was diagnosed six years ago with UTI with the presence of citrobacter koseri. After antibiotic treatment, all symptoms disappeared. Now again I have the same symtoms with the presence of citrobacter koseri. Aside from antibiotic treatment, what should be done? I'm a 60 year old woman.

Do the following:
1. Clean the external genitalia with antiseptic solution after urination and defecation.
2. Maintain good toilette practices.
UTIs are common in women because the urethra is shorter and closer to the anal opening in them. Most UTIs are caused by fecal flora (Citrobacter koseri is a fecal flora). Therefore, preventing fecal contamination of the urethral opening is a way to prevent an UTI.
