The laboratory results for a wound swab for microscopy, culture and sensitivity show the following: Specimen: right lower leg ulcer swab, Microscopy: No polymorphs seen + gram positive cocci, Culture +++ Staphylococcus aureus, Sensitivity results: penicil


Based on the sensitivity results for the isolated Staphylococcus aureus, the following antibiotics can be considered: - **Flucloxacillin**: Sensitivity result indicates that this antibiotic is susceptible (S). Therefore, it would be an appropriate choice. - **Amoxicillin/Clav** (Amox/Clav): Sensitivity result indicates susceptibility (S) as well. This combination is often effective against Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to other penicillins like Amoxicillin alone. The other antibiotics listed are either resistant (Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Erythromycin, Clindamycin) or are not suitable based on the sensitivity profile. Therefore, the two appropriate antibiotics to prescribe would be: a. Flucloxacillin b. Amox/Clav
