Refer to your antibiogram chart - what specific antibiotics are the most appropriate for treating out-patients with K. pneumoniae infections (choose 3). If you were to recommend 2 possible antibiotics for MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), what would your drugs be: A patient has been taking Ampicillin for a urinary tract infection but the infection is not getting any better. After a urine culture, you find that that E. coli is the source of the infection. Why was the Ampicillin ineffective? What would be a more appropriate antibiotic in this case?

The following are the results for an antibiotic resistance test for S. aureus and the following four antibiotics. Use the chart above to interpret the results and then answer questions 20-22. Ampicillin: 10 mm Kanamycin: 8 mm Penicillin: 12 mm Tetracycline: 25 mm S. aureus is resistant to all the following antibiotics except ampicillin, kanamycin, penicillin, and tetracycline. 21. Which of the following antibiotics does aureus have an intermediate response to? Ampicillin, kanamycin, penicillin, neither b nor c. Based on the data provided, if you were going to treat a patient for a disease caused by S. aureus, which antibiotic would you use? Ampicillin, kanamycin, penicillin, tetracycline.
