Q

Antibacterial agents: special consideration for rehab

A

Cephalasporins believed to have contributed to rise in antibiotic-resistant infections. Watch for hypersensitivity reactions (itching, rashes, wheezing). Antibiotic resistance may develop w/prolonged use, inhibiting healing). Patients on Vancomycin or Zyvox may have MRSA – Bloodborne pathogen precautions apply.
