“…Adequate antibiotic coverage should include Gram-negative, Gram-positive, and anaerobic coverage due to PTAs polymicrobial nature, followed by culture results and tailored treatment [ 1 , 2 ]. Antibiotics such as amoxicillin-clavulanate and ceftriaxone are commonly used and can be complemented by vancomycin or linezolid for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) coverage [ 2 , 8 ]. Despite clear guidelines, empiric antibiotic treatment is not consistently followed [ 9 ].…”

“…Se indicó manejo ambulatorio posdrenaje principalmente con amoxicilina/ácido clavulánico que presenta cobertura para bacterias Gram-positivas, Gram-negativas y anaerobios. La indicación de la cobertura antibiótica y la vía de administración es un tema controvertido en la literatura, la evidencia es variada, por ejemplo, en la revisión de Powell y col se sugiere manejo con penicilina y metronidazol dado la presencia de infecciones polimicrobianas 9 ; por otro lado, la reciente revisión de Herzon y cols, que dentro de su análisis incluyó tres estudios clínicos randomizados, recomienda que pese a la existencia de microorganismos productores de betalactamasa, el tratamiento con penicilina bastaría para el manejo de abscesos periamigdalinos en los pacientes adultos 19 . Todos estos estudios fueron realizados según la epidemiología local.…”
