What types antibotics are Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli suseptible to?

Answer 1

• Most strains of Staphylococcus aureus are susceptible to vancomycin and have not yet built up a resistance. Some strains are still susceptible to penicillin and other antibiotics so it really depends on the strain.
• Most strains of E. coli are susceptible to amoxicillin and many cephalosporins. This also depends on the strain because some are resistant and some are susceptible.

Answer 2

Staphylococcus aureus is usually susceptible to antibiotics like methicillin, oxacillin, vancomycin, and daptomycin. Escherichia coli is typically susceptible to antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and aminoglycosides. However, antibiotic susceptibility testing should be done to confirm the most effective treatment.
