Talk:Elizabethkingia meningoseptica

This line is not technically accurate...
Presently ciprofloxacin, minocycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, rifampin and novobiocin are considered good alternatives. Most of these are classic drugs for gram positive bacteria and not routinely tested on gram negative bacteria.[12]"

Granted rifampin is widely used for MRSA and TB, and novobiocin (no one uses it clinically) is used for various Staph species, TMP/SMZ (Bactrim) and Cipro are have really good gram negative and positive coverage. Cipro is first line, really for diabetic infections (mixed gram negative and positive) and extended coverage for P. aeuroginosa (double coverage). Bacterium is one of the most widely used drugs for UTI its coverage, as listed on Global RPH is : Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, Morganella morganii, Proteus mirabilis, indole-positive Proteus species including Proteus vulgaris, Haemophilus influenzae (including ampicillin-resistant strains), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsteuernagle (talk • contribs) 00:41, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
