E. Coli: The Norms: Yes. But if it is seeded into the prostate gland as well you may need medication for six weeks or so. Your family doctor can sort this out for you.

Maybe: E. coli is a common cause of urine infections. The precise sensitivity to antibiotics varies by strain & infection. The lab that identifies the bacteria also reports the antibiotics that work against it and doctors use this when choosing antibiotics. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is one that usually works well though it is usually dosed twice daily. Also resistance is rising. Follow up with your doctor directly.
