Re: Case Study 3 got it from wiki C. trachomatis may be treated with any of several antibiotics: azithromycin, erythromycin or doxycycline/tetracycline in this case the urethral discharge didn't resolved after treated with ceftriaxone, why? @_@a as we know ceftriaxone is a broadspectrum antibiotic.
