I just checked the local sensitivity reports. Our MRSA is sensitive to Avelox.
This would be a great angle for the reps.
Secondary lung infections are open to a whole host of buggers. Not just Staphylococcus aureus, but Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Moraxella catarrhalis.
“Atypical” bacteria are Coxiella burnetti, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Legionella pneumophila.
That is why it may not be such a bad idea to use a broad spectrum antibacterial agent if the patient is in a high risk group and it looks like their influenza is going acute. No time to spare.
