B)vancomycin.
C)aminoglycosides.
D)synercid.
E)isoniazid.

Accepted Answer

Gram-negative bacilli are often treated with aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin or amikacin, as they are effective against these bacteria. Penicillin G is effective against gram-positive bacteria, and vancomycin is typically reserved for treating gram-positive infections that are resistant to other antibiotics. Synercid is an antibiotic used to treat gram-positive bacteria, and isoniazid is used primarily for the treatment of tuberculosis.
