t work, a physician will try another class. There are different resistance levels to different antibiotics and all different kinds of bacteria that some antibiotics are more effective against than others. I'd follow your doctors orders and take the medicine.
Without further DNA testing, I doubt you will know what type of ureaplasma was detected. The drug of choice for ureaplasma infections is a macrolide antibiotic. The best choice being azithromycin. Doxycycline is less effective, but if it's helping, that's good news. If you continue to have problems, ask your doctor about treatment with a macrolide such as azithromycine or erythromycin.
You can develop resistance to a STAT-C drug however. So when someone is choosing a trial with a STAT-C drug involved, you want to choose with care - the same will apply when undergoing treatment with a STAT-C drug when they finally get to market. You want a doctor/treatment team who understands the issues and you'll want to understand them yourself so that your first attempt with a STAT-C drug is as hopefully your last.
2) Clarithromycin (Biaxin) probably would cure syphilis or prevent it from taking hold. Strains of syphilis with resistance to that class of antibiotics (the macrolide group) are increasing in frequency and no data have been reported from that part of the world, but probably it's not a problem.
3) The chancre of syphilis usually is a painless sore that takes 3-4 weeks to heal.
4) VDRL detects active syphilis. But it often becomes negative after several years, even without treatment.
When an antibiotic is deemed necessary, Zithromax (azithromycin) is commonly used. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that is effective against M pneumonia. But, if the sinusitis is caused by a fungus or virus azithromycin will not help. In some cases, sinusitis can last for several weeks before it resolves. If the symptoms persist for longer than a few weeks your physician may refer you to an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
went to Infectious Disease today, they took all the necessary samples, which included urine and swabs (ouch). Sent everything off for resistance testing. In the meantime Doc put me on 2 more weeks of Doxy. Symptoms are still the same, purulent discharge in the morning, slight watery discharge throughout the day, painful urination, pain/itching at top of penis.
Will update again once the resistance testing is back.
IR or insulin resistance is a sign of type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. I am assuming you are referring to either the A1C or fasting blood glucose levels. The first thing of course is a change in life style. This does not mean you have to stop eating everything but to be more judicious in your eating habits. In addition, regular exercise is paramount in reducing those :numbers". Talk this over with your physician and get started on these changes.
There is little doubt that the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of bacterial resistance, both in hospitals and community settings [1]. The major force driving changes in the prevalence of resistance in the community seems to be the volume of drug use [...]"

there have been only one or two reported cas of true resistance of Chlamydia trachomatis to doxycycline and/or azithromycin. If it works out that way, I would expect your doctors to write up a scientific report for publication.
I that event, I would not venture a guess about the best alternate treatment to use; that decision would rest on the lab tests to determine the best choice.n However, I still would not worry about eventual treatment success; there has never been a C.
Hi! I need some ideas on different resistance training I can do at home? Trying something new so any ideas are welcome! Thanks!
I have an appointment with my obgyn a week from Monday to follow up with him. Should I be tested for an immune deficiency or resistance? Any advice welcome.
On the report it did not show outside the normal but she said the usually accepted cut off for insulin resistance was lower than my level. I was placed on 500mg metformin, told to cut out process/refined sugar, carbs, and be re-tested. This process has continued and now I am on 2000 mg of metformin and my levels are actually higher. I have not been perfect with the diet but certainly much better than before.
