Therapy: Minor reduction in spectrum of activity if you gave me the choice would keep bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim). Spectrum includes many not all MRSA isolates.

No: Doubt you need both of those as will cover same bug. Usually see more side effects with Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) however.
