THank you!

A better way to find out is to ask your doc to look at your latest sensitivity report. It should show which antibiotics will work best on the strains of bacteria you grow.

Not all doctors test for sensitivities to all antibiotics.

AND sputum cultures don't always show all strains of bacteria that you carry. The only sure fire way is to have a bronch.

So educating yourself by reading PI's will help you understand what antibiotics are used for which bacteria.

I'm on an I.V. antibiotic, when I researched the one a/b, it only mentioned one bug in particular, but it didn't mention the others.</end quote></div>

As I said in the post above this one, Prescribing Information.

<b>Ciprofloxacin has been shown to be active against most strains of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section.

Aerobic gram-positive microorganisms
Enterococcus faecalis (Many strains are only moderately susceptible.)
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Aerobic gram-negative microorganisms
Escherichia coli
Proteus mirabilis
The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown.

Ciprofloxacin exhibits in vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1 µg/mL or less against most ( >= 90%) strains of the following microorganisms; however, the safety and effectiveness of CIPRO XR in treating clinical infections due to these microorganisms have not been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.

Aerobic gram-negative microorganisms
Citrobacter koseri
Citrobacter freundii
Edwardsiella tarda
Enterobacter aerogenes
Enterobacter cloacae
Klebsiella oxytoca
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Morganella morganii
Proteus vulgaris
Providencia rettgeri
Providencia stuartii
Serratia marcescens
Susceptibility Tests
Dilution Techniques: Quantitative methods are used to determine antimicrobial minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). These MICs provide estimates of the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds. The MICs should be determined using a standardized procedure. Standardized procedures are based on a dilution method1 (broth or agar) or equivalent with standardized inoculum concentrations and standardized concentrations of ciprofloxacin. The MIC values should be interpreted according to the following criteria:

For testing Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus species, and Staphylococcus species:

MIC (µg/mL)
Interpretation

<= 1
2
>= 4

Susceptible (S)
Intermediate (I)
Resistant (R)
</b>




Self-education in this respect is FANTASTIC and I'm delighted to hear that you're interested in educating yourself.

Every antibiotic has Prescribing Informatoin as mandated by the FDA
