How effective is antibiotics to destroy enterobacter?
Patient: i had a complication from gallbladder surgery and was told i had the start of an abscess and was rushed to surgery the day after my gallbladder was removed. they said the culture grew enterobacter. i m on heavy doses of antibiotics. my question is do the antibiotics work and will this ever go away? Doctor: Hi,It depends upon which antibiotics you are taking. Since you did not mention the name of antibiotic prescribed by your doctor it is very difficult to answer your question. However, if your doctor has prescribed the antibiotic based on the culture and sensitive report they usually work and thus help in eradication of the infection.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
