Question

what are broad spectrum antibiotics?​

Answer 1

$\huge {\boxed {\mathtt {\underline \color {gold} {ANSWER :- }}}}$

Broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy is recommended in the setting of PBI due to high likelihood of foreign body contamination. Although infection with gram-positive organisms is most common, increasing rates of infection with gram-negative organisms, especially Acinetobacter species, is being reported. Prophylactic antibiotics were first introduced at the dawn of the penicillin era, during World War II, effectively dropping infection rates from 60% to 6% in PBI patients. Current infection rates have been reported to be as low as 1% in the civilian setting, with higher rates of 12% associated with PBI in the military setting. In addition, tetanus toxin is administered with any foreign body penetration. In recent years, the use of antibiotic-impregnated ventricular catheters has been shown to dramatically decrease the rates of ventriculostomy infections in general neurosurgery patients, though no study has been performed specifically in PBI patients.

A broad-spectrum antibiotic is an antibiotic that acts on the two major bacterial groups, gram-positive and gram-negative, or any antibiotic that acts against a wide range of disease-causing bacteria
