I don't know personally about the new antibiotics used for UTIs but they do seem to have certain ones now that are more effective than standard antibiotics for treatment. Here is a link that I found that might explain further:

Hope this helps. Keep us updated.
Thanks for that article. I also spoke to a pharmacist this morning and both sources seemed to indicate that this is the new norm for UTI treatment. The other option would be TMP but, as it is a sulfa drug, I am allergic to it. If only my doctor had explained that to me...
Also how scary is that all of these antibiotics are no longer as effective?!?
Yes it is scary have UTIs actually gotten immune to such antibiotics? I can't have sulfa drugs either as I am allergic too. Hope you get relief soon, keep us updated.
