Abstract
Physicians faced with the decision of whether to use a tried-and-true or new-and-improved antibiotic must consider the economic as well as clinical outcome. To aid in choosing the most cost-effective therapy for common infections, the properties of five of the most widely used older antibiotics are discussed in comparison to newer alternatives.
