| <sup>1</sup>Some strains may be resistant to penicillin. Vancomycin can be used with or without rifampin.
| |
| | |
| <sup>2</sup>Cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, or ceftizoxime can be used. Most studies on meningitis have been with cefotaxime or ceftriaxone (see text).
| |
| | |
| <sup>3</sup>TMP-SMZ can be used to treat ''Listeria monocytogenes'' in patients allergic to penicillin in a dosage of 15–20 mg/kg of TMP in three or four divided doses.
| |
| | |
| <sup>4</sup>Depending on local drug susceptibility pattern, use tobramycin, 5 mg/kg/d, or amikacin, 15 mg/kg/d, in place of gentamicin.
| |
| | |
| <sup>5</sup>Gatifloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin
| |
| | |
| <sup>6</sup>Remember to give steroids concomitatntly or 15 minutes prior to antibiotics for acute bacterial meningitis
