A 5 year old boy is brought into your clinic with a recurrent upper respiratory infection. He was
given amoxIcillin for his last infection.
a) What should you do before choosing which antibiotic to prescribe for him (what things should you
consider before prescribing medication to any patient)?
b) You initially choose the broad spectrum drug amoxicillin again. However, after the lab report
comes back, the antibiotic sensitivity report indicates that his infection is resistant to amoxicillin.
What are 2 potential mechanisms that have allowed this bacterium to become resistant to
amoxicillin (ie. how can bacteria now be resistant to the amoxicillin antibiotics, not what humans
have done to cause it)?
