If it is a gram negative diplococci it is most likely from Neisseria (gonorrhoeae). You can take Ciprofloxacin, a single 250mg dose should do the trick. Other drugs include:

-Amoxicillin 2 g plus probenecid 1 g orally-Ampicillin 2 to 3 g plus probenecid 1 g orally-Azithromycin 2 g orally-Cefixime 400 mg orally[8]-Cefotaxime 500 mg by intramuscular injection-Cefoxitin 2 g by intramuscular injection, plus probenecid 1 g orally-Cefpodoxime (Vantin) 400 mg orally-Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 125 to 250 mg by intramuscular injection-Ciprofloxacin 500 mg orally-Levofloxacin 250 mg orally-Ofloxacin 400 mg orally-Spectinomycin 2 g by intramuscular injection

Also be sure to check for Chlamydia (signs and symptoms may show up a few weeks later). Those two go together like peaches and herb.

Treatment includes:

-Azithromycin-Erythromycin-Doxycycline/tetracycline,-Cefpodoxim proxetil-Amoxicillin-Zithromax

Is Zinoximor a sulfabased antibiotic?

Zinoximor is not a sulfa-based antibiotic. Zinoximor contains cefuroxime, an antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class of antibiotic. Specifically, it is a second-generation cephalosporin, hence has a spectrum of activity that covers many gram positive as well as gram negative bacteria. Because of this, it is used in treatment of a variety of infections, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, and skin/soft-tissue infections.

How is gram staining useful to health care workers?

The gram stain will stain a bacterium then a particular antibiotic might be effective against it. If the gram stain will not stain that particular bacterium, then that particular antibiotic will not be effective against it. Thus a gram negative bacterium like TB requires a different antibiotic than a gram positive bacterium. However, if several have formed a film, it may contain many types and it becomes harder to kill them. That may require a broad based antibiotic.
