“…Gentamicin has been used alone in the treatment of S. epidermidis genitourinary infections with satisfactory results (24). Caution has been advised in using single-drug aminoglycoside therapy for deep-seated S. aureus infections because of the potential for the emergence of aminoglycoside-resistant mutants (19 …”
