It is highly likely that you will have to take the antibiotic again. By taking the antibiotic once a day you are reducing the level of the antibiotic in your system and that won't be enough for killing the bacteria.
I would suggest that you see your doctor and perhaps have swabs done to check whether the infection has cleared.
