Anyone had a UTI that is antibiotic resistant?

This may sound silly, so please take it for what it's worth. A male friend had recurring simple (but one sent him to the hospital) UTIs over two years, continually trying a different antibiotic with some, but not great, success. I told him that female friends with similar complaint swear by cranberry juice. He finally saw a top-notch urologist who ruled out anything serious and put him on D-mannose, the primary source for which is, well, cranberries. The D-mannose helps the biofilm lining of the urethra be less hospitable to the bacteria as UTI bacteria are notoriously 'sticky' and attach easily to the tissue. Another win for simple phytochemicals.

This man also swears by 25 years of drinking cranberry juice daily. I stock up on the juice because it keeps well and does not require refrigeration. This is my family's anecdote.

I have UTI for many years!!
diet, supplements - UVA-URSI D-mannose, cranberry -that all prevention , but isn’t treatment.
Antibiotics can give temporary relief ! Taking them for long create/ affect kidney disease .
This is worldwide problem when UTI became antibiotic resistance.
It is exist invasive procedure but still it doesn't guarantee complete treatment .
Age, post-menopause women lacking more
estrogen due the Tamoxifen- cancer treatment, diet, genetics - those are most of the factors influence the UTI problem .
Anything new in the world???
