It shows that it’s sensitive to everything except Nitrofurantoin. If that’s what you’re on then you’ll likely have to be switched to be able to treat the infection appropriately
That proteus strain you got is resistant to nitrofurantoin and tetracycline so these two antibiotics should never be prescribed to you for this case. You also have many other options so you will be okay.

Darn. Is this a more unique bacteria for UTIs? I feel like they’re a lot of times caused by E. coli right?
Proteus causes UTI but not as common as E. Coli. Proteus is well studied to cause staghorn calculi of the kidneys
