UTI treatment: A different bacteria might be causing your separate UTIs, maybe more recently with bacteria not fully susceptible to ciprofloxacin. Your next UTI should be confirmed by urine culture to make sure the diagnosis is correct, and for sensitivity testing to determine the best antibiotic. Good luck.
