I'm not sure what you mean here. Abx is a abbreviation we use here for "antibiotics" and can refer to any antibiotic: penecillin, fortaz, gentamycin, cipro, colistin, etc etc.
If you are asking what bacteria antibiotic treat... well certain ones are good for certain infections. Different ones may be used for Pseudomonas or Staph or Cepacia, and a lot also depends on what your sputum cultures show.
Hope that answered your question.
To Samantha... yikes, I've never heard of 22 hour antibiotics! Feel better soon, don't worry too much about the midline... like people said it's no worse than a PICC. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
