A member asked:
If cefalexin becomes resistant to a uti, could other antibiotics still be ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need a lab test: Cephalexin doesn’t become resistant, the bacteria become resistant to cephalexin. Need to do a “sensitivity” test on the bacteria in the urine to determine which antibiotic is still likely to work
