I have a drug resistant ecoli uti. how worried should i be about being contagious.? do i need to stay away from family? just starting second antibiotic

Since : Since you started the appropriate antibiotic you should not be worried about the spread of infection, especially since this type of infection is rarely transmitted from one person to another; it's usually auto-transmitted, meaning you get it from other areas of your body; typically bacteria from your rectum transmitted to your urinary tract. Remember you should always practice good hygiene, handwashing is key. Take care.
