Avatar f tn Cipro is iffy for both Chlamydia and Enterococcus infections. Ask your Doctor to be sure that the Enterococcus is not a resistent strain , as this is becoming more of a problem, especially here in the US. I hope you are well soon. Take care.
Avatar n tn Similarly, the strain of enterococcus appears to be resistant to quinolones (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, etc.) as well. If you have the culture report, check which antibiotic inhibits the bacteria as mentioned in the report. Check which antibiotic the bacteria is sensitive to and have that antibiotic prescribed after discussion with your doctor. Enterococcus is usually susceptible to treatment with gentamicin or other amino glycosides.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I've been recently diagnosed with enterococcus and it caused urinary tract infection. Now, my question is - could enterococcus be transmitted on other persons through kissing (via saliva etc.)? Is it present in the mouth? And in what ways enterococcus is transmitted anyway? What kind of complications could it cause?

483814 tn?1214311480 18 years of age). Levofloxacin is contraindicated in persons with known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin or other quinolone antibacterials. Serious and occasionally fatal events, such as hypersensitivity and/or anaphylactic reactions and some of unknown etiology, have been reported in patients receiving therapy with quinolones, including levofloxacin.
Avatar n tn 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. I have Raynaud syn suspected, tonsillectomy done, mitral valve prolapse, acne papulopustulosa, painful menstruations, but regular, and sometimes UTI.
Avatar n tn Careful with Levofloxacin. Sometimes the side effects aren't worth the benefits. I took Levofloxacin to cure a bout of pneumonia. Sure enough, the infection cleared up, but my joints ached so bad I could not raise my arms to take a shower, put my clothes on, bend to tie my shoes, get in and out of a car quickly. Strength training and jogging was out of the question for a month.
1070570 tn?1283436213 Other enterococcal species known to cause human infection include Enterococcus avium, Enterococcus gallinarum, Enterococcus casseliflavus, Enterococcus durans, Enterococcus raffinosus and Enterococcus mundtii.[1] E faecium represents most vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Isolation of enterococci resistant to multiple antibiotics has become increasingly common in the hospital setting.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn Is 500 mg of Levofloxacin every 48 hours suppose to make a 70 year old diabetic dialysis patient drowsy, fatigued, emotionally disturbed, and delirious? Is it okay to stop the continuing dosage after seeing the affects of the first dose?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn If Levofloxacin caused peripherial neuropathy will Cipro also if I take that as an alternate?
Avatar m tn No, levofloxacin (Levoquin®) would have no effect on ARS symptoms. All ARS symptoms are due directly to the body's immune response to HIV.
Avatar m tn I went for a repeat urine c+s last week since the previous results were lost, and it was negative for G and C but came back positive for enterococcus faecalis. I told the physician about my exposure, and he recommended treatment with macrobid twice a day x 5 days. I was convinced my symptoms were related to anxiety, so needless to say I was surprised by this result. I can't recall the colony count exactly, but I think it was 20 x 10'6.
