Before culture results are back: how likely is each antibiotic to cover the pathogen of a patient like this one, in this ward, given the last 12 months of results and today's alerts.

No single agent reaches 80 % coverage for this profile. Highest coverage without active warning:
vancomycin 53 % (45 %–61 %)
Best two-drug combination: vancomycin + meropenem covers 99 % (95 %–100 %)
Take cultures before treatment; consider a combination and discuss with infectious diseases if the patient is severely ill.
Not covered: Escherichia coli (16 %), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12 %), Proteus mirabilis (9 %)

Decision support only: coverage is the share of first isolates from similar patients that were susceptible (an organism not tested for a drug counts as not covered). It does not replace local treatment guidelines, allergy and severity assessment, or clinical judgement. The black tick on each bar is the coverage target; the bracket is the 95 % confidence interval.
