URGENT PLEASE HELP CONFUSED

Ok guys today I got my standard urine culture back with high load of klebsiella. The microgen I’m posting is from late July so obviously bacteria numbers have changed. Keep in mind everything on that microgen I’m posting doesn’t show up on standard culture so that parts embedded. The focus is on the klebsiella that’s currently in my free floating urine. My urologist doesn’t want me to take gentamicin for possible future resistance even tho I think it’s the way safer option vs cipro because I took gentamicin on Friday and was totally fine. Bactrim susceptibility is bad and I’ve used it and didn’t help so that’s out. I cant take cephalosporins because I react badly to them. The only promising oral option seems to be cipro. I’m terrified of taking it due to black box warning but I’m at a point where if the urologist isn’t willing to give me gentamicin than cipro seems like the next best idea . I’m taking this at my own risk but my body can’t handle this uti so I’m desperate especially since my back hurts. They checked on Friday and no kidney infection and bloodwork was good. My question is: How actually accurate is Microgendx? It says I’m resistant to fluroquinolones yet when my standard urine cultures come out positive, cipro has the greatest susceptibility. The top left of the microgen says I’m resistant to fluroquinolones. Can someone just ease my mind so I don’t take cipro for nothing. Thank you !

DESPERATE

ok guys I need your help. I’m in California and desperately need an infectious disease dr recommendation to help with my case.Microgendx detected 1,970,000 of E. coli in urine and I’ve been feeling horrible. No I do not have a fever. But I’ve been getting some what feels like kidney pain that hurts more when I lay down on my back. My only good options are IV antibiotics but I have no idea what infectious disease doctor will take me seriously considering I don’t have a fever. Also unfortunately my bacteria is embedded and only comes up on pcr so it would have to be a doctor who takes pcr tests seriously.I’m very very desperate as I have a low immune system where white blood cells counts was a level 4 in my blood. Guys I’m desperate does anyone know an infectious disease doctor for me

HELP WITH MICROGENDX RESULTS

Ok so the first picture was my first microgen back in March . My naturopath gave me 4 weeks of Augmentin twice a day paired with NAC. Now the most recent results this July in the second picture she said it is confusing that at the top it now says I’m resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics which Augmentin is apart of yet it says I’m susceptible to Augmentin? Macrobid gave me hives, the one time I used bactrim it made things worse. She said it’s not in her practice to hand out carbapenem antibiotics. I’m getting back pain and my cultures are completely negative with my usual doctors so that’s out of the question. My question is is Augmentin even going to work with these confusing results

Help embedded uti through Microgendx

Does anyone happen to know if Dr. Ryan Heer is taking new patients? And if he isn’t, do you recommend a doctor that does the longer high dose antibiotics and goes off of microgendx results? I’m in California
