Anyone had a UTI that is antibiotic resistant?

Hi @dulcinea14 A recurring, or in your case, ongoing/chronic UTI is awful. My advice to you is to find another urologist. You’ve had this 2 months and that is not enough time to have explored all the options.
Sometimes the normal regimen of antibiotics don’t do the trick and a long term program needs to be in place.
Have you had a 5 day culture run to see what bacteria is involved? That can’t be determined with a rapid test and is even missed during 3 day cultures.
Have you had a cystoscope procedure to see inside your bladder and urinary tract or a CT scan or MRI to check in your kidneys?
Do you have a lot of pain in your back with this or a fever?

I’ve had 3 cultures this month. The first 2 had morganella morganii bacteria resistant to all bacteria. The last had enterocccus faecium VRE Resistant to all. I’ve had cystoscope procedures, CT scan, pelvic ultrasound and all is OK. I changed from a Urologist to a urogynecologist and she has tried everything. Sent me to an Infectious dr also. Opinions— There is nothing they can do - I am antiobiotic Resistant to everything. No pain in back or fever, but vaginal pain is very bad, especially at night, plus urinating every hour. Feel miserable all the time.
