It is typical for your provider to send out culture with sensitivity. Sensitivities show which antibiotics are best to treat a certain bacterium. Amox/Clav is often used, however, I would check with the provider who ordered your culture to verify that your strain of E. Coli was sensitive to Amox/Clav.
