If you look again "0" indicates the organism is sensitive to the drug and + is only an intermediate resistance.
This is no superbug.
It is curable by multiple drugs, the biggest question then becomes, "which drug will cause the least negative side effects for the snake".
Luckily the OP has found a vet better suited to helping with reptilian care.

You need to read it again. "+" = sensitive, "(+)" = intermediate, "0" = resistant... nothing but zeros on the sensitivity results. Also, the snake(s) were treated with two months of Baytril BEFORE the culture was done.


I'd still love to know what the specialist had to say about this case.
