Best Treatment for MSSA

Jaques Sztajnbok   (27 August 2008)  Instituto de Infectologia Emilio Ribas _Sao Paulo Brazil email

Dear authors. I read with great interest your article and I have a question: Why didn't you use oxacillin plus clindamycin since the strain was MSSA and its a wellknokwn fact that oxacillin usually performs very well when treating MSSA associated pneumonias.

Yours

Jaques
