A member asked:
Was on macrobid for uti- dr just called and said i now need to take cipro once culture came back. why?

Sensitivity: The change in antibiotic is based most of the time on the sensitivity/ resistance of the bacteria species that grew on the culture. First antibiotic is empirically picked, lack of response dictates the culture. Always take antibiotic for the recommended duration.
