1. Don’t use broad antibiotics
2. Ok so use broad antibiotics
????
I'm not sure I understand your question. For milder infections with no necrosis, narrow-spectrum antistaphylococcal drugs should be enough in most cases, but for complicated infections, we have no choice but to use broad-spectrum antibiotics. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend you take a look at some of the research articles I included in the description.
Who tf came up with all these names 😮😂
