Antibiotic Resistance and UTI Treatment: Dr. Nicholas Sanford

- Can you treat a UTI if the organisms are antibiotic resistant?
In part two of our interview with Dr. Nicholas Sanford, we answer the following questions:
● What is the difference between detecting antibiotic resistance genes and conducting antibiotic susceptibility testing?
● Do MicroGenDX test results indicate which organisms are considered to be pathogens vs. those that are considered beneficial?
● How is low/medium/high bacterial load determined for UTI test results and what does it mean?
● Is it normal for bladder organisms to change over time, and for test results to also therefore be different each time?
● Why do beneficial organisms rarely show up in MicroGenDX tests? Are they deliberately omitted from the results, or are they not detected in the first place?
● If multiple organisms are listed in UTI test results, is there any indication of which may be causing the symptoms?
● Do MicroGenDX test results provide antibiotic recommendations?
● Why is it often necessary for someone to test, treat, then retest and possibly treat again?
