About Urinary Tract Infection Gram-Negative
A urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by gram-negative bacteria, most commonly E. coli, can be painful and require prompt treatment. These infections can lead to serious complications if left untreated. TheDrugClub helps make essential antibiotics more affordable, ensuring you can access the medication you need without financial stress.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system. When we talk about "gram-negative" UTIs, we're referring to infections caused by a specific type of bacteria, identified by a Gram stain test.
