Dear Pat,
Apparently every manipulation of the urinary tract carries some risk of infection which is why I wasn't on antibiotics for the whole time I was catheterized, but I was told to restart the Cipro before the catheter removal and VCUG. As to the source of the super Klebsiella, I don't know. I've been on Levaquin a few times in the past year, which could explain the resistance to Levaquin and Cipro, but otherwise I never take antibiotics so the resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins, and sulfonamides is a mystery to me.
