A member asked:
What if nitrofurantoin didn't help for a uti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a big surprise: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has been well known. Antibiotics should be selected based on sensitivity result on urine culture. Even then, Nitrofurantoin is not a good choice for pyelonephritis.
