A member asked:

Got diagnosed with enterococcus uti while pregnant. doctor gave me amoxicillin for treatment... i did some googling and it says different antibiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sensitivity results: Generally a urine culture identifies what bacteria is present and how sensitive it is to various antibiotics. Amoxicillin is a good choice for use in pregnancy; other antibiotics may be effective but not as safe.
