[NP-Clinical] UTI/lactobacillis

[Sue Wiers]

If you find the article, I would be interested also.  I have one patient who 
has had this scenario twice in the last couple of months and I wasn't sure 
what to do with her.  Since she was symptomatic, I treated with Augmentin 
which resolved her symptoms and the next culture came back negative.
