Carpe diem or carbapenems ping.
Anything other than antibiotics to help with such bacteria? Oil of oregano or some potions, amulets or spells to help?

I guess it helps to ping someone when pinging.
However, the use of cranberry juice for UTI, specifically for two types of e. coli, is well documented:

Amulets. I need amulets. ;-)
Those probably do help some, in general, but I don’t know about against a particularly vicious bacterium.
I’ve never used antibiotics. I take cranberry capsules. Each one is 420mg of cranberry. I’m not a doctor but it seems to me that a natural cure would be better than filling people with antibiotics that they become resistant to.
Yeah, that sounds like what we get from the Press Secretary.
...fimbriae...
Therein lies the rub.
If they try to give your wife Bactrim DS, sue!
I have Lupus and chronic UTI’s I am allergic to penicillin and sulfa and all related meds. Cipro is no longer effective for treating me. As it stands now there are only 2 oral meds that I can take for treatment.
I'm lucky in that regard. Several years ago I had an infected tooth and ten bucks worth of penicillin worked just fine.
Count your blessings! An infection is a major event for me, as treatment may or may not work and I may develop an allergy while taking it.
Manuka honey.
Works topically but I don't know if it makes it to the urinary tract.
It does if you eat/drink it. Its supposedly good for IBS and other disorders. Anything natural that helps with these superbugs is worth a try. 2009 was the year for MRSA to try to kill me twice. I’m still freeping thank god :o).
You should find a physician who practices orthomolecular medicine. Start @ www.acam.org. I’ve read that vitamins c & d are helpful. There are also some mushroom extracts available that are really beneficial to the immune system. Conventional medicine scoffs, alternative medicine cures.
Cranberry and acidophilus.
I'm glad it didn't. Was that a skin condition? Was Manuka honey used as treatment? Inquiring minds...
