Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Penicillin G is the first drug of choice for N. meningitidis. It is a drug of first choice for infections caused by sensitive gram-positive cocci, including S. pyogenes. It is a drug of choice for T. pallidum. It is not effective against methicillin-resistant S. aureus or P. aeruginosa.

Answer to Question 2

A
The preferred treatment for C. trachomatis during pregnancy is either azithromycin or amoxicillin. Doxycycline can be used for nonpregnant patients. Erythromycin is used for infants. Sulfi-soxazole is not recommended for pregnant woman near term, because it can cause kernicterus in the infant.
