Prostititis Enterococcus

I have been diagnosed with Prostitiis with the culture coming back showing Enterococcus.  My doctor told me it was very serious and said the best treatment for this germ is Amoxicillin.  I am taking 2000mg Amoxicillin a day for 30 days.  Eight months ago I was diagnosed with the same disease with the exception it was an E-Coli germ   My doctor seemed very upset that this type of disease returned after only 8 months.  What do you think is the cause of this reoccurence.  I have an enlarged prostate.  Should I seek additional advice from an infectious disease doctor?  What is your feelings about having the prostate shaved?

Amaxlin doesn't penetrate, you need to take cipro.
