A man comes to the Walk In clinic complaining of a golf-ball sized mass near his left groin.
Upon physical examination, the mass is palpable, and warm to the touch, with a 5 cm radius of
cellulitis. As the physician palpates the mass, a thick, purulent substance leaks out. The
physician promptly collects the pus and sends it to the lab for testing. The physician then sends
the man home with directions to apply heat to the area 3-4 times per day and to wait to hear
what the lab results are before discussing a treatment plan. Below are the preliminary
laboratory results:
The physician orders a lab technician to perform a Kirby Bauer disk diffusion assay and finds
that the organism is resistant to the following antibiotics: 1) Penicillin, 2) Ampicillin, 3) Methicillin,
and 4) Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole.
Based upon this recent revelation, what drug would you choose to treat the patient with?
