- A man comes to the Walk In clinic complaining of a golf-ball sized mass near his left groin. Upon physical examination, the mass is palpable, and warm to the touch, with a 5 cm radius of cellulitis. As the physician palpates the mass, a thick, purulent substance leaks out. The physician promptly collects the pus and sends it to the lab for testing. The physician then sends the man home with directions to apply heat to the area 3-4 times per day and to wait to hear what the lab results are before discussing a treatment plan. Below are the preliminary laboratory results: The physician orders a lab technician to perform a Kirby Bauer disk diffusion assay and finds that the organism is resistant to the following antibiotics: 1) Penicillin, 2) Ampicillin, 3) Methicillin, and 4) Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole.
