Hi everyone,
I've had two UTI's in the past 4 months, and both of them have been caused by Enterobacter. I've read that this is normally acquired in hospitals (I haven't been a patient recently) and can be much harder to get rid of (often quickly develops drug resistance...) Has anyone else ever had a UTI with Enterobacter? I think UTI's are normally caused by E.Coli and my doctor said it was strange that I would develop two Enterobacter infections.

So I live in china, and recently my penis is secreting a yellowy green liquid and its a little itchy and painful, and I'm needing to pee more than usual. My symptoms started 2 weeks after a condom broke while having sex with a Chinese girl.
The problem is, Chinese public hospitals are appalling. And I've heard its law for hospitals to report foreigners with STD's so they can be deported.
Aureus (staphylococcus aureus) - run! It is hard to control because it has started to show resistance to a lot of antibiotics. I would just be extra cautious if you have any injury and are at swimming pools or gyms. Apparently staph likes these environments plus hospitals have occasional outbreaks of staph infections.
Sorry, maybe I am paranoid since reading the book "The Killers Within"....
pylorri infection but after having the antibiotics he gave me, it still has no changes(burping often). At the same time, I started urinating often after having the gastritis. I had pain in my bladder and after that on the genitals.
