[4] Like other antibiotics, cefalexin cannot treat viral infections, such as the flu, common cold or acute bronchitis. [4] Cefalexin can be used in those who have mild or moderate allergies to penicillin ...

   The evolution of bacteria on a "Mega-Plate" petri dish A list of antibiotic resistant bacteria is provided below. These bacteria have shown antibiotic resistance (or antimicrobial resistance). Gram positive Clostridioides difficile Clostridioides difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that causes diarrheal disease worldwide. Diarrhea caused by C. difficile can be life-threatening. Infections are ...

   Ceftolozane is an option for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections and complicated urinary tract infections. It is combined with the β-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam , as multi-drug resistant bacterial infections will generally show resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics unless this enzyme is inhibited.

   However, it is not regarded as the first-line treatment for uncomplicated cystitis because of the high prevalence of penicillin-resistant E. coli strains. [12] Within the penicillin class, pivmecillinam is considered the first-line empiric treatment for acute cystitis due to its wide spectrum of activity against gram-negative bacteria and its ...

   The United Kingdom's Health Protection Agency has stated that "most isolates with NDM-1 enzyme are resistant to all standard intravenous antibiotics for treatment of severe infections." [100] On 26 May 2016, an E. coli "superbug" was identified in the United States resistant to colistin, "the last line of defence" antibiotic.

9. Mecillinam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecillinam

   Mecillinam is used in the treatment of infections due to susceptible gram-negative bacteria, especially urinary tract infections which are most commonly caused by Escherichia coli. [5] Mecillinam is active against most pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, except Pseudomonas aeruginosa and some species of Proteus. [6]
