Dear sir ...... What is the drug of choice against Pseudomonas Aurogenosa. Is that type of Pseudomonas is harmfull then other types.
Pseudomonas is a nasty bug because its resistant to a lot of the antibiotics. Are you asking because it is causing a UTI? Typically, with a UTI it will cause a fruity smell.



Piperacillin, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation cephalosporins will all cover pseudomonas aerogenosa.

Wrong! Yes Pseudomonas is a nasty bug but those drugs don't cover for Pseudomonas

What covers it are:
2 CPNs (Only one 3rd generation - Ceftazidime and ONE 4th generation - Cefepime)
the Antipseudomonal PCNs (Ticarcillin and Pipercillin)
Aztreonam,
Carbapenems (Doripenem, Imipenem, and Meropenems)
Aminoglycoside (Gentamicin, Amikacin, and Tobramycin)
and ONLY 2 quinolones (Cipro and Levofloxacin)

Tell me if i'm missing any? i don't think i am
