    Cloxacillin is an antibiotic used to treat infections caused by susceptible pneumococci, Group A beta hemolytic streptococci, and penicillin G sensitive staphylococci. It works by interfering with cell wall replication of susceptible organisms, rendering the cell wall osmotically unstable. Common indications include infections caused by these organisms such as pneumonia, emphysema, bacteremia, and pericarditis. Nursing responsibilities include observing the rights of drug administration, performing skin testing before administration, and assessing the patient for signs of allergic reaction such as rash, urticaria, and exfoliative dermatitis.
