Flucloxacillin for Pneumonia

Flucloxacillin is used in the treatment of Pneumonia. Flucloxacillin is a narrow-spectrum, penicillinase-resistant penicillin antibiotic active mainly against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and streptococci. It is used for skin and soft-tissue, bone and joint, and other staphylococcal infections. It has essentially no activity against the Gram-negative bacteria (such as E. coli) that cause most urinary tract infections, so it is not used to treat UTIs.
