Find a urologist: You need a urine culture with sensitivities so that the right antibiotic is given to you. However, if the urine cultures are negative then you may have a non-infectious bladder condition that feels like a uti, but is not. A common cause of this is interstitial cystitis and this needs diet modification and other treatments that are not antibiotics. Best of luck.

Culture+sensitivity: Enterococcus utis can be a very difficult to treat if caused by a vancomycin resistant strain. Many labs do not do sensitivity testing on +ve enterococcus urine culture because most respond to amoxicillin, Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) + nitrofurantoin. So sensitivity testing of culture must be requested. Your utis may be complex. Have u seen a urologist? Toronto has superb urologists, should be no need to go south.
