HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Ciprofloxacin is one of the antibiotics that can be used to treat this type of infection , if it does not respond to this then there are alternative antibiotics that can be used.
There are cases of antibiotic resistance
In terms transmission, it is possible that transmission can occur , if he has symptoms then he can be assessed.
I hope this helps
