Hello,
I have gone through your query.
I understand that your husband has complicated UTI as it has occured after Kidney transplant. Also your husband is in an immunodeficient state post transplant.
Martifur 100 mg twice daily is the recommended dose though exact duration has been a matter of controversy. But generally it is taken for 4 weeks.
It can be stopped if no growth is seen further. You can consult a miocrobiologistfor the same.
Thank you,
Regards,
