Looking for some clinical discussion around Unasyn (ampicillin/sulbactam) for MSSA bacteremia. CLSI m100 equates a lack of methicillin resistance with susceptibility Unasyn (lets assume C/S confirm and no unforeseen mechanisms of resistance) and during shortage it has been successfully used in Japan
