Trimethoprim- Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX, Bactrim) (PO, IV) has broad spectrum of coverage to GN's, Staph. There is variable Strep coverage and no Enterococcal or anaerobic coverage. First line therapy for Nocardia, Stenotrophomonas, and Pneumocystis.
It's possible that there are also some strep bacteria involved and bactrim has poor coverage for this. Typically we prescribe an additional

Add MRSA coverage if purulent or severe disease. Oral options include Bactrim 2 DS tabs bid (best) or Doxycycline 100 mg po bid (both have poor strep coverage
