Brief Answer:
See next please
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
It may be caused by some resistant type of bacteria and Levoflixacin would be a better option.
However it would be better if you do urine culture sensitivity analysis to rule out the exact infection/bacteria causing it so that most efficient antibiotic can be used.
Feel free to ask further.
Wish you good health.

Yes, this is urine analysis, however there is no urineculture result. Urineculture is a specific test which identify the exact bacteria which cause the infection. This report suggests mild urinoinfection and it should respond to antibiotic therapy within 3 days
