“Antimicrobial spectra. Common antimicrobial susceptibilities illustrated over a 4 quadrant chart of bacterial pathogens based on their classification of Gram‐positive versus Gram‐negative and aerobic versus anaerobic. Pathogens that do not fit into this classification scheme (ie, atypicals) are documented in the lower right hand quadrant of the chart. For the antimicrobials in the center of the chart that provide 4‐quadrant coverage it is important to be aware that there are organisms that fall into these classifications but might not have susceptibility to one of these antimicrobials (ie, Pseudomonas infections are commonly resistant to amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid). Note that this chart does not account for antimicrobial resistance”
