• Carbapenems? Directed by local ecology (ESBL)

• Tigecyclin? Directed by local ecology (oxa48, …) ESCMID• Fluoroquinolones? Better aftereLibrary documentation by author Rapid surgery should always be considered

• Purulent effusion removal / drainage

• Associated with surgery

• Targeting streptococci and anaerobes (+/- GNB) if pharyngeal/odontogenic infection – 3rd G cephalosporin + imidazole – Amoxicillin - clavulanate
