Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Providentia ritgerri can be a causative agent for the urinary tract infection.

Colony count can be a important parameter to judge whether the infection is causative or not.

If the colony count of the urine is more than one lac than it is the causative agent responsible.

Taking the drug according to the report can cure the infection.

This organisms may be resistant to multiple antibiotics. So proper schedule and good dose can be help ful in curing the infection.

Please maintian good local hygiene, drink plenty of water. Water can be helpful to flush the bacteria from the urinary stream.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
