I have been diagnosed with Prostitiis with the culture coming back showing Enterococcus. My doctor told me it was very serious and said the best treatment for this germ is Amoxicillin. I am taking 2000mg Amoxicillin a day for 30 days. Eight months ago I was diagnosed with the same disease with the exception it was an E-Coli germ My doctor seemed very upset that this type of disease returned after only 8 months. What do you think is the cause of this reoccurence.
Doctor has prescribed me Augmentin 875-125 mg (Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) twice a day for 1 week (I think the 875 is the Amoxicillin part and 125 maybe the clavulanic acid). I will take the meds and see if the infection goes away.
It is no surprise to me that your doctor found enterococcus in your urine- it is normally there although the quantity that you mention is a higher than normal (are you sure there were 20,000,000 organisms per milliliter of urine- this is extraordinarily high) and ay warrant treatment, particularly if there were other abnormalities on your urinalysis such as a positive leukocyte esterase test or increased numbers of white blood cells.
m little skeptycal about because he claims that he also tested positive for enterococcus fecalis and escherichia coli which, i think, dont usually live in the throat) and i dont want to cause any problem to her and, eventually, the baby.
thanks again for your patience, i really appreciate.
1) It started from a simple middle ear infection of the right ear that went untreated for a month. After going to a doctor, I got amoxicillin pills for 10 days. The symptoms went away but came back pretty quickly.
2) May: I went to a doctor again, they took samples from my ear and the result was Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. I got ear drops with Ciprofloxacin since I already took amoxicillin which the bacteria turned out to me sensitive to.
bad smell, white discarghe, ichness etc) and I made a penile swab, but the only result was enterococcus spp. Could this be the cause of my balanitis? or is it possible to have something else, that didn't come up at the lab.

enterococcus is very threating bacteria. i wish u should start taking antibiotic. the best antibiotic for this bacteria is Linezolid (Zyvox).
t really get tested right now but do have access to antibiotics. Intend to get tested for everything in a few weeks when I return home.
In the meantime, I'm fairly certain I have chalmydia. That is redness and swelling around the urethral meatus (I'm a man) itchy and burning urethra and painful urination (all of which are mild except for the redness.) There is a significant amount of discharge and it seems white in the morning and clear the rest of the time.
I finished the course and went back for culture and it still came back positive for enterococcus. She then put me on a higher dose of Ampicilling (850mg) and said I should see a Urologist or Urogyn. I went to Urologist and have had a bladder/kidney ultrasound which was negative, postvoid residual scan results = scant, and I am scheduled for a cystoscopy next week. I have taken Cipro 500, Levofloxacin 2 different times and I still have this enterococcus bacteria. It will not go away.
10days Xiclav therapy was prescribed. After that, strep was gone, but e colli was there, so Bactrim was prescribed for 5 days. 3rd time only enterococcus faecalis was reported and nothing was prescribed until after 20days the doctor repeated examination. 4th swab indicated presence of strep b (second time) and enterococcus faecalis, amoxiscilin is prescribed for 8-10 days.
Blood in urine, frequent urination every 10mins in night, burning, itching, painful, then i was treated with some antibiotics in 2004 february pain disppeared from 3rd day. Gave for culture b4 taking antibiotic some organism was found, but doctor said this organism is senitive for the drug i took
Second Time:
In Oct 2005: No blood but other symtoms are same, when Urine culture was given it said no organism was found but the urine was not first sample of urine.
Which I am sceptical because when I took Amoxicillin it was 1 a day pill for a week and as soon as i took it the bacteria was going away. Now I've taken Clindamycin like 5 times, because it's 1 pill ever 6 hours. There is 28 pills in total. But I don't see the bacteria fading, like the Amoxicillin.
Due to a recent oral sex encounter, I got tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia in the throat. Those swabs were done with the Aptima Combo 2 Assay and came back negative. I took azithromycin and rocephin injection as a precaution (before the swab results came back), and am currently taking Augmentin to get rid of the strep. I was feeling fine and healed until yesterday when my throat started to hurt again.
last six months - increased urinary frequency & urgency - often little amounts of urine, and often comes out as a spray instead of a stream.
Also, intermittent (from a couple of times per day to every couple of days) stinging/ shooting pain at tip of my penis, & reasonably constant itching around my genitals & rectum.
Only possible exposure- a single incident of receiving oral sex from a female friend in August.
Doctor has suggested me Linezolid antibiotic for 7 days since Enterococcus Faecilis was found in semen culture and sensitivity test. My question is - Is this infection very dangerous and does it affects fertility?
Would 1 gram, 3x daily (3 grams daily) of Amoxicillin for 10 days kill Chlamydia and Gonnorea?
What other conditions might cause a pinching sensation and a slight red discloration at the tip of my penis?
If you've been on Amoxicillin for more than 3 days and are not starting to feel better go back to the doctor and get a different antibiotic.
