Anyone had a UTI that is antibiotic resistant?

Has anyone with chronic UTI's been advised to take Hiprex (methenamine) to prevent UTI's? Is there any research to show what the safety profile is of this medication and if it okay to use long term instead of prophylactic antibiotic use?

A male friend did, for over two years. A new urologist told him to take d-mannose six months ago to "change the urethral lining" to make it less congenial for the bacteria to hang out. My friend bought the stuff at a drugstore and hasn't had a UTI since. A primary source of d-mannose is cranberries.
