Every doctor I ever worked for went for the highest "S" rating on the sensitivity, even if that meant changing tie script the patient was on. And they did follow up C&S a week after the antibiotic was done. I worked pediatrics for 10 years and have plated a lot of cultures, some of the growth is very pretty vivid colors.@Cynthia12. DH got the C&S back on his stomach abscess drainage. It came back that the antibiotic he is on is only an intermediate. Cipro and several others came back as a 'susceptible' on the sensitivity.
They said they are going to leave him on the Augmentin, which is the intermediate. Have you ever heard of passing up an "S" drug for an "I" when dealing with a post surgical abscess? I have to admit, I haven't. Every doctor I have worked with goes right for the antibiotic that has the highest "S" rating to it.
Granny I'm working on my second cup and know that I'm going to need at least 1 more.
