Abstract

It is difficult to "get rid of" highly resistant (HiP) pathogenic bacteria. Clinical records of treatment with antibiotics active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa are still conflicting. The 4 antibiotic classes leading to targeting P. aeruginosa prescribed to patients include aminoglycosides (top drug: tobramycin), fluoroquinolones (top drug: ciprofloxacin), macrolides (top drug: azithromycin), and polymyxins (top drug: colistin).
