[|Human|] Hello doc, Ive have a patient with a postoperative woundinfection (after a necrotectomy). The wound contains E.coli and proteus mirabilis micro-organisms. Is cefuroxim a good antibiotic to treath? The wound was necrotizing. I was wondering if the given antiobic is the right one?
[|AI|]  HIT hanks for posting your query.  Yes Cefuroxime is a good antibiotic and will cover E. Coli and P.Mirabilis most of the time. But I would advise you to get a Wound Swab Culture Sensitivity test done which will tell which is the right antibiotic for your wound infection.  Kindly get this test done. But till you get the report you can start Cefuroxime as the report takes 3 days to come. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask.
