United States
a single antibiotic was found less effective
Explanation:
Skin anthrax can still be treated with a single antibiotic, but the therapy should continue for 60 days, not 7 to 10 days, ...

''So they look sensitive in the test tube,'' Dr. Gerberding said, ''but if you have a lot of them in a patient and you treat that patient with penicillin, they will rev up to destroy the penicillin, and the treatment may be less effective.''
