Proper antibiotic selection requires a knowledge of host rosyphilis because of limited penetration into the central factors (e.g., immune function, comorbid diseases, and nervous system. Similarly, cefotaxime has activity against age); pharmacologic factors (e.g., pharmacokinetics, phar- Enterobacter, but would rarely be used as monotherapy for macodynamics, adverse effects, and drug interactions); serious infections, because of high rates of resistance and and microbial factors (e.g., resistance patterns and patho- the emergence of resistance during therapy.

One must be careful not to use this or any presented in the primary literature, review articles, and other generalized reference in the absence of sound clinical textbooks that are well-recognized in the field of infectious judgment, as it cannot account for all host, drug, and diseases. Because many antibiotics have overlapping spec- microbial factors in each specific clinical scenario.
