the best way to find what type of antibiotic is best for a UTI is to have a urinalysis with culture and sensitivity. the culture and sensitivity will tell which antibiotics are best for the strain of bug that is being grown. there are many types of enterococcus bacterias, and they may be suseptible to different antibiotics. therefore it is hard to say if bactrim is a good choice. levaquin is a good broad spectrum antibiotic that is used to treat a bunch of things, such as pneumonia, UTIs, etc…but it is a bad idea to remain on an antibiotic for a prolonged period of time as it kills the good bacteria that your body needs for things such as digestion.
i would wait until the UTI actually manifests itself, and then go to the doctor for a culture/sensitivity on the urine to make sure youre getting the right antibiotic for the right bug.
I found a website that may help u.
It is the Interstitial Cystitis Network
