Would likely be used in the same manner as vancomycin is currently. That means it’s restricted to hospitals, and ONLY used to treat infections that frontline (and possibly secondary) antibiotics haven’t/can’t/won’t touch.

I don’t see any way this gets out for general use and Rx by primary/urgent care providers.
