cipro group b strep

If so then the virudans strep could also be the problem and viridans strep are more resistant to antibiotics. But I would check with your doctor on this and see if the Strep group B and Viridans strep were sensitive to Levoflaxacin. If they are it may be a suitable substitute. Why do you want to stop the Ciprofloxacin or switch? Do you have another problem you want to treat in addition to the urinary tract infection and prostate or is the cipro not working?

Hi wondering if anyone can help me please. A month ago I started to have cramping pain in lower abdomen and frequent urination . My doctor put me on macrobid but that didn't help . Then put me on cipro which didn't help either . The pain would come and go with lower back pain as well and getting up to urinate and bladder pressure all the time . After that my urine culture came back positive with group b strep . I'm not pregnant . My doctor gave me 7 days of penicillin .

I just got the call from my doctor in which I was told I have GBS, group b strep and bacterial vaginosis, I have been suffering for about 6 months on different meds. I have 3 children and have never had this problem and never heard of it either. Help any info is great.

Anyone else not have Group B Strep in their previous pregnancies and then get a positive test for it during one? Ive never had a positive result for Group B before with my other pregnancies but I do with this one. My Dr said its common hence why they test for it all the time but Im just curious.

Hey ladies I'm a ftm & my online results for my group b strep test just came back ... It was positive , what does this mean ?

So my last appointment I found out I was a carrier of group b strep:/ and I am kinda worried I'm allergic to antibiotics and worried the medications she wants to give me while in delivery won't work as good or the same as a antibiotic. Its bad enough I'm a germ freak and made my family and bfs family get the tdap shot now this!? Anyone else have to deal with group b strep?

Hi Nick I was reading through your experience of strep infection in your prostate. My urologyst just told me that I have a strep group b infection on my prostate. I am having the same symptoms you had. I was wondering how you came out of it. Are you better?

This is my second pregnancy, with my first one everything was fine but with this one I tested positive for the group b strep! I am very worried and can't stop thinking about it. I researched it and wants mortified with what I found out about it. I am terrified! Has anyone else dealt with this?

I agree with Alexandria.I would go as sok as labor starts I also have group b strep and my Dr isn't concerned unless I don't get antibitocs. Women r all carriers of group b strep its in our bodies just during pregnancy it comes out in certain women. I didn't have it with my first son but I have it now with my second.

I have 2 boys and I also was a carrier for group b strep, not a big deal, while your in labour they'll hook pen g into your IV so it will have no affect on your baby :)

I was group b strep positive with my daughter my doc just said some women have it and some don't they will just give you antibiotics threw ur iv during birth so the baby don't get phnumonia

so if any of your have tested posative for group b strep can you tell me how your labour went?..what was done differnt? was the baby ok?....and any other info you could on the subject! im a first time mom so all of this is new to me and everything makes me worried!

Has anybody tested positive for group b strep? My dr proscribed me antibiotics of its weird form of it....is that bad?

Has any moms on here tested positive for group B strep im on my second pregnancy and just found out i tested positive my first pregnancy i did not im really worried for my baby has any one deliverd a healthy baby im so worried reading all the complications

Every woman has group B Strep (it's part of the natural microflora that inhabits your vagina), but they are actually testing for levels of the bacteria. When you test positive, it means you have a higher than optimal bacteria count. It's not a problem at all when treated with antibiotics, which will bring the count to a normal level. It typically doesn't even cause problems when untreated, but it can. It's more of a precaution than anything.

They would be testing to see if you have group b strep. If you have it they will give you antibiotics. It can pass to the baby during labour and can be fatal for baby if baby gets it.

So my doctor told me today that my test came out positive. I didn't have group b strep with my first and don't really know much other than I'll need antibiotics during delivery. I've been doing a little research but it doesn't say anything about if I will be able to have an epidural as well as have the antibiotics.

I am 37 weeks and last thursday i was tested for the group b strep and they said it would take about a week to get the results back, i have another doc appt this thursday and im assuming they will tell me the results then but i have a few questions that i forgot to ask my doc. I was just wondering if group b strep is something that you just get when pregnant sometimes? How do you get it? Is it like a STD? Any info would be appreciated.

I just received my Group B Strep test results and it says DETECTED!!! I have have had 3 healthy pregnancies and never had a problem with Group B. What do I do? What should I expect?

So today I was told by my midwife that I have tested positive for group B strep. She didn't really explain what it is and told me not to google it. I planned on giving birth In a birthing centre but I'm aware I would have to be on antibiotics through intravenous drip when my waters break. Does anyone have any info on group b strep? What it is? I'm curious to know, but sometimes things on google are exaggerated.

Today at my 37 week appointment I found out I tested positive for Group B Strep. Im pretty freaked out right now. I know that its kinda common for weman and 1/4 to 1/3 of women get it. I guess my question is has anyone experienced this or have positive uplifting storys about their baby? Im allergic to the penicillin so they are testing other things that I will be able to take. Thanks and god bless.

I know you need antibiotics during labor to prevent the baby getting infected. But then I read about late onset group strep b.. Which the baby can get up until 3 months old, which can cause meningitis, but you can't prevent it?? Does anybody know about this ?
