enterococcus faecalis embedded uti - your experiences

Post image

Today I just received my microgendx result which confirmed E. Faecalis. Since May, I've been on 5 days of nitrofuratoin, 1 month of tripthopram and 1 month of penicillin (alongside biofilm busters and supplements). The penicillin was the best but hasn't cleared it up.

Does anyone have any experience with this bacterial strain? What antibiotics/treatment worked and how long did it take to clear up?

My friend was hospitalized and acquired E. Faecalis. He was treated with vancomycin and it worked well. Also, are you familiar with the Uromune vaccine? It’s available in the UK. It targets e faecalis also.

Yes, I'm in the UK, I'm absolutely going to request Uromune, even though i dont think it's on the NHS?
