gram-positive Cocci 3= great. Use an antibiotic empirically if it is a 3. 2.5 = the best we got, but I sure wish we had better. OK to use empirically as we do not have any other choice. 2= adequate if susceptible, use with caution (ie know what you are doing and local susceptibility patterns) but do not rely on it empirically if you do not have susceptibilities. 1.5 = if it is susceptible its great, but is almost never susceptible. 1= no way dude.

Notes:
(1) 14% I and 7% R to penicillin, the resistant strains often resistant to tetracyclines, macrolides, tmp/sulfa and quinolones.
(2) 30% R or I to penicillin and 30% R to clindamycin.
(3) if your S. aureus is S to pencillin G (and that is akin to finding a ceolocanth), then pencillin G is a great drug.
(4) resistance to macrolides has been reported as high as 30%.
(9) high dose po Bactrim 1 ---2 ds po tid or Clindamycin 600---900 po q 8 for boils from MRSA not unreasonable. Never use either for bacteremia, unless, of course, you just so happen to be dumb as a box of rocks.
gram-positive cocci, Gram postive rods, gram-negative cocci/coccobacillus, gram-negative rods, Anaerobes and misc. bugs
gram-positive Rods 3= great. Use an antibiotic empirically if it is a 3. 2.5 = the best we got, but I sure wish we had better. OK to use empirically as we do not have any other choice. 2= adequate if susceptible, use with caution (ie know what you are doing and local susceptibility patterns) but do not rely on it empirically if you do not have susceptibilities. 1.5 = if it is susceptible its great, but is almost never susceptible. 1= no way dude.

Notes:
(10) No systemic absorbtion, use for GI illness only.
gram-positive cocci, Gram postive rods, gram-negative cocci/coccobacillus, gram-negative rods, Anaerobes and misc. bugs Anaerobes and Misc. 3= great. Use an antibiotic empirically if it is a 3. 2.5 = the best we got, but I sure wish we had better. OK to use empirically as we do not have any other choice. 2= adequate if susceptible, use with caution (ie know what you are doing and local susceptibility patterns) but do not rely on it empirically if you do not have susceptibilities. 1.5 = if it is susceptible its great, but is almost never susceptible. 1= no way dude. You want a dead patient? "?" = looks good in a test tube "." = placeholder pending data
