Cefepime and ciprofloxacin are both options but remember quinolones are the ONLY oral antibiotics with activity against P. aeruginosa.

While ertapenem is an attractive option for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy due to once daily administration, gaps in its spectrum should be remembered!
