What Causes A Bladder Infection?

I have had a bladder infection for about 2 weeks. My doctor prescribed Macrobid. When the urine culture came back it showed my bacteria was resistant. My doctor then prescribed Bactrim. I have been on it for 8 days and my pain is getting worse. In the past Bactrim never cleared up my bladder infections. How is this possible when the urine culture shows that Bactrim is susceptible?
