E. coli infections that are resistant to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin are increasing despite a decrease in its prescription, according to a study. The research suggests that drug-resistant E. coli can persist in the gut microbiomes of individuals, leading to urinary tract infections, particularly in postmenopausal women. The study authors recommend finding better ways to tackle drug-resistant E. coli in the gut, such as using probiotic bacteria or viruses.
