A doctor has provided 1 answer

Colonization: Your doctor is talking about colonization, which means that the E. coli bacteria is now living in your urinary tract. It can cause recurrent infections. But don't use prophylactic antibiotics. They don't prevent many infections and just lead to antibiotic resistance.
