Patient's question:
Is Mycobacterium Strain AB a refractory pediatric disease?Doctor's answer:
The Proteus mirabilis is a type of Gram-negative bacillus that commonly causes urinary tract infections and other diseases. For this bacterium, the main treatment involves selecting antibiotics that are effective against Gram-negative bacilli, such as third-generation cephalosporins. It is best to conduct a susceptibility test first, and then choose a sensitive antibiotic based on the test results. Generally, if it is confirmed that the infection is caused by Proteus mirabilis, it is advisable to perform a bacterial culture + susceptibility test to identify the specific type of bacterium. Now that the bacterium has been identified, sensitive antibiotics can be selected based on the susceptibility test results. For children, quinolone antibiotics should not be used. The primary treatment options are third-generation cephalosporins or monobactam antibiotics. If the child has a urinary tract infection, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and maintain a daily urine output of over 2000ml. This not only helps to expel as many bacteria as possible from the body but also serves to flush the urinary tract.
