Therefore, oral antibiotic therapy is now frequently prescribed in clinical practice due to cost benefit, ease of administration, decreased complication rate, and lack of need for IV access. In vitro susceptibility testing for β-lactam oral antibiotics is not routinely performed as the guidelines provided by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommend using oxacillin and cefoxitin as surrogate markers. Hence, oral antibiotic susceptibilities for cephalexin and dicloxacillin are not reported and implied based on oxacillin and cefoxitin.
