Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
You have posted this query in skin, hair and nails. I wanted to know whether these organisms are grown on the skin or sputum ?
Your doctor would have already done sputum/pus culture and sensitivity, that is how the organism is identified. The report will also give which antibiotic the organism will be sensitive to. So naturally your doctor would have prescribed the right medicines, that is doxycycline and ciprofloxacin.
Hope I answered your query.
I will be happy to answer any further queries you have
Wish you good health
