Description:

Clindamycin is another antibiotic option for abscesses, especially when there is surrounding cellulitis or concern for MRSA. It has good activity against both Staphylococcus aureus (including many MRSA strains) and Streptococcus species, making it useful when broader coverage is needed. Like Bactrim, it may be used as an adjunct to incision and drainage or as an alternative in early cases or when patients refuse the procedure. However, clinicians should weigh the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, including C. difficile infection, when prescribing.
