Hello dear.
in urine Escherichia coli colony count >1,00,000 cfu/ml suggest
you are suffering from complicated urinary tract infection due to E. Coli bacteria.
So treatment for this is broad spectrum antibiotics against E.coli for 10-14 days.
If you are able to take orally then take fluroquinolone.
If it is not possible, take ceftazidime parentrally.
You should shift to oral therapy with in 72 hr as you able to tolerate oral drugs.
Follow up urine culture after 14 days to confirm the eradication of E.Coli.
Hope this advice help you..
Thank you.
Get well soon.
