			* For gas gangrene, typically requires surgical debridement and [[penicillin G]]
			** Consider adding [[clindamycin]] for theoretical decreased toxin production in [[toxic shock syndrome]]
			* Otherwise, generally susceptible to [[erythromycin]], [[chloramphenicol]], [[cefazolin]], [[cefoxitin]], [[ceftriaxone]], [[piperacillin]], [[carbapenems]], [[metronidazole]], [[vancomycin]], and [[linezolid]]
