Skin and skin structure infection

Empiric treatment can include amoxicillin clavulanic acid, ceftriaxone plus nafsicillin or vancomycin, clindamycin plus a third-generation cephalosporin, or ampicillin sulbactam.

Cellulitis-like infections require the typical coverage for SSTIs.

However, more invasive infections such as bacterial tracheitis require prompt initiation of broad-spectrum antibiotics, including MRSA coverage.

Antibiotics can then be further tailored after culture sensitivities are obtained.
