Current use for old antibacterial agents: polymyxins, rifampin, and aminoglycosides
Abstract
This article discusses three classes of antibacterial agents that are uncommonly used in bacterial infections (other than mycobacterial infections) and can be thought of as special-use agents. These are the polymyxins, rifampin, and the aminoglycosides.
