T.W. is a 28-year-old woman with a history of recurrent infections who now exhibits a new E. coli UTI. Her last episode occurred 5 months previously. Her current infection is treated with TMP-SMX for 10 days. A repeat UA was scheduled for the completion of antibiotic therapy, but she canceled her appointment because she “felt fine.” Twelve weeks later, she returns to the clinic with signs and symptoms of another UTI. The only other medication she has taken is an oral contraceptive. Why would C&S testing of a urine sample be especially useful at this time?
