moxifloxacin and gram negative bacteria

If it is gram negative bacteria, its not easily treated. Gram positive bacteria like MRSA (staph infections) are typically not resistant to antibiotics as appose to gram negative which are. It is possible to treat the problem but if the infection is in your blood stream although the bacteria is killed, endotoxin (in the cell wall or core of bacteria) is hard to clean from your blood. It attacks your tissues and causes inflamation.

If you’re having symptoms in the urethra, testicle pain, prostate pain, or discharge and voiding issues, and chlamydia and gonnorhea tests are negative, MG is the next likely culprit. Do not take any flouroquinlone class antibiotics until you get an accurate MG test done. If you are postive for MG, you can take a long course of Moxifloxacin and have a decent shot at curing it.

Gram-negative simply meens that the bacteria did not stain with negative dye, negative bacteria is harder to kill with antibiotics than positive. Don't worry it is a good thing. I am a nurse.

However, they are true bacteria, structurally similar to Gram negative bacteria. They are small Gram negative coccobacilli that are normally stained with Giemsa since they stain poorly with the Gram stain.

About 6 months ago, I noticed that I had discharge and dysuria and came to the conclusion that I had urethritis. Thinking that it was caused by an std,I want to the doctor who gave me a ceftriaxone injection and put me on ciprofloxacin pills for 3 days. The symptoms went down drastically but they never completely went away.

doxycycline, azithromycin and moxifloxacin. The first two failed to clear my infection and now I have two days that I finished the moxifloxacin 400 mg( 10 days treatment) clearing my symptoms. My question is, Is it possible for the bacteria to reoccur after the moxifloxacin treatment? And if yes what other option are there?

What you had was Haemophilus ducrei ,causative agent of Chancroid, (gram negative coccobacillus a pleomorphic bacteria), normally this STD infection is asymptomatic for women and is very common in Asian contries. The threatment normally includes a combination of Azithromycin and ciproflacin. Your story made a great study case at my school.

There is a disc-diffusion method where you culture the bacteria on a plate and put discs containing different antibiotics and incubate the plate to see where there is an inhibition of growth to show what antibiotic the bacteria is susceptible to.

about 2 months ago i had an encounter with a csw, portected oral and intercours, a week later and a huge amount of guilt later , i went to the gum clinic where they took a urine sample and done a gram stain test.

now only left moxifloxacin hasnt try, seems to be last resort. this bacteria already bothered me for 6 months, really want to get rid of it.

All tests and cultures thus far negative. I have not tried the Rocephin shot yet nor Moxifloxacin. Symptoms started ~5 days after I received unprotected oral sex, firstly an occasional burning and itchy urethra, eventually other things too, but currently I am suffering from occasional burning and aching in urethra/anal area and persistent non itchy rash and feeling of flushed skin with normal temperature. I have had occasional headaches and extreme fatigue bouts.

Have tested negative for STDs and HIV however my Genital sample culture shows Gram Positive Cocci. Existing symptoms are headache, neck pain and shoulder pain - What does this indicate and what is the medication ? My Doctor has prescribed Ibufropen and it is not helping.

my question is, how dangerous is the coccus gram positive bacteria ? do I need any medication since my GP did not give me any. and how did I get it ? is it a normal bacteria in the urethra ?

Hi Mimililma I think that you may have guessed at the problem. You did not do a clean catch sample. This means that the urine sample contained all kinds of normal skin flora. Normal skin flora are bacteria that are normally and routinely found on the skin and cause no problems. When the urine was cultured (grown) in the Microbiology lab, all those organisms from your skin, grew as well.

After returning to the US, I had tests done again which all came negative, including standard broad spectrum STD testing and even mycoplasma (blood test, not swab) yet symptoms still exist. I have gone through two courses of levofloxacin (30 days) and one course of moxifloxacin (10 days) yet it still persists. The moxifloxacin seemed to have more effectiveness. I've seen several similar posts in this community and hope someone can help or share their experience. Many thanks!

she was given standard treatment of cipro * which i had direct contact with labs to say the cirpo Cipro is a quinolone that acts mainly on gram-negative bacteria. Mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas are derived from Gram-positive bacteria and cipro does not have much activity against them.

i have a girlfriend,she went to a doctor for a papsmear the result is this,tiny grams variable coccobacilli-abundant,negative gram pleomorphic, gram negative bacilli-abundant, clue cells found,suggestive of bacterial vaginosis,my questions are: a.is this an infection or STD? b.if ever this is an STD,how many months a bacteria could stay in a body of a person from the time he/she had sex? c.
