Bugs & Drugs - Antibiotic QuickCard

Antibiotic selection has been identified as a potential weak spot for our residents. So, I created the below table to serve as a quick reference while on shift. My hope is to condense it to the size of a badge (front and back) so that it can be worn on one's badge holder.  Please note the disclaimer below.  This has not been peer reviewed yet.  References are listed below.
