So confused, different results? HELP!!

Hello! All results are posted: Microgen, Cirrus, Labcorp

I took two MicrogenDX tests a month apart, and they both showed the same two bacteria. Ecoli and Enterobacter hormaechei (enterobacter being the dominant organism)

I then tried taking a CirrusDX test to double check the antibiotic sensitivities, because I heard Cirrus is more accurate. The CirrusDX test only showed Ecoli. Do they not test for Enterobacter Hormaechei???

I took another labcorp culture on the SAME DAY I as the CirrusDX test, and the antibiotic sensitives are not the same between Labcorp / Cirrus.

CIRRUS shows Susceptible to Amox-Clav and Resistant to Macrobid.

LABCORP shows Intermediate to Amox-Clav and Susceptible to Macrobid.

I am SO CONFUSED!

I am working with two doctors, and these different results have them coming up with two very different game plans for treatment. What do I do?? What is most accurate? Is Amox-Clav reliable in this scenario? Where did Enterobacter H go??
