The culture results showed 3+ gram negative rods and 3+ aeromomas species.
The sensitivity showed Fortaz would be effective but more common antibiotics such as Baytril would be ineffective.

Well, that report isn't super specific, but the fact that it's gram negative rods and aeromonas sp. tells me a little bit. However, both are usually covered really well by fluoroquinolones (Baytril is a FQ), so it's kind of weird that it would be resistant to Baytril. It would be nice if they could have obtained a little more accurate culture result...
Have you started Fortaz yet? If so, how many days has he been on it?
Also, was the drainage thick, and caseous, or was it more liquid?
