- Antibiotic location on the sheet ROUGHLY corresponds to general coverage- Cell-wall active agents have dotted boxes around them- Administration route: PO IV BOTH

-This guide is to be used to learn the spectra of antibiotics commonly used in the hospital: - Dark wedge = good coverage - Light wedge = ok coverage; other antibiotics may cover a higher percentage of organisms in this class - The spectra listed here reflect general antibiotic use and may not relate to your patient’s pathogen(s) or reflect the antibiogram of your patient’s institution, unit, or floor.- When feasible, obtain clinical specimens correctly and before antibiotic exposure. - Remember to check sensitivity results and adjust antibiotics accordingly (from broad coverage to narrow).
