Probably you have an antibiotic resistant strain of enterococcus. However, probably there are antibiotics that would be effective. Ask your doctor for referral to an infectious diseases specialist who probably will be able to solve this problem. Good luck.

Your enterococcus infection should be treated with the drug it is sensitive to as revealed by the C&S test. This also can mean an underlying abnormality in the urinary tract. Best pl see a Urologist. In the meantime keep area clean with soap and water, drink water, empty your bladder frequently and try cranberry juic. Hope you do well
