Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Nitrofurantoin (niftran) is very effective for UTI including one with E coli. It is less bacterial resistance compared to other antibiotics also. So yo can complete the course your doctor prescribed. After that go for a follow up culture of urine to see whether it is clear.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
