symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI)

In our lecture this week, we discuss the very important topic of prokaryotic (bacterial) cell structure. One of the key points discussed is the difference between the Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacterial cell wall structure. For the Discussion Board this week, please read the following case study, research this topic, and respond to the following prompt. You must include at least 2 scientific references in correct APA format.

Here are the specific directions for the Module this week:

1). Read the following case study.

You have been having symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) and make an appointment to see your doctor. After a review of your case, a urine culture is set up. Confirmation of a UTI caused by the Gram (-) bacteria, E.coli, is made. The doctor prescribes the antibiotic, nitrofurantoin. You don’t really want to spend extra money on another antibiotic since you have some antibiotic left over from a previous Strep throat. You decide to take the antibiotic you already have instead. Why might this not be a good idea? What should be done instead?

I need it as soon as possible as short as possible max one page, but answering the question logically due to the bacteria gram + , – , and cell wall, with sources that I can find online in correctly APA format. Thank you
