Abx Advisor helps you pick empiric antibiotics. You give it the infection syndrome and a few patient details, point it at your hospital's antibiogram, and it returns a ranked set of regimens with first-line and alternative options. The recommendations follow Sanford Guide, IDSA, and OpenEvidence. It installs as a progressive web app, so it works on a phone at the bedside even without a solid connection.

Empiric coverage is a lot to hold in your head at once. You're weighing the likely bugs for the site of infection against local resistance, the patient's allergies, and their renal function, usually while the clock is running. The app keeps that reasoning in one flow so you can start something defensible and narrow it down once cultures are back.

You start by choosing the infection site: skin and soft tissue, respiratory, ENT, genitourinary, intra-abdominal, bloodstream, pelvic, tick-borne, and more. Then you add context like a penicillin or beta-lactam allergy, MRSA or Pseudomonas risk, and whether you want oral or IV.

A few things it does that I find useful:

• Tunes coverage to your own antibiogram (E. coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, MRSA and MSSA, S. pneumoniae, Enterococcus, and others)
• Drops beta-lactams and offers safe alternatives when there's a penicillin allergy
• Adjusts doses for creatinine clearance
• Groups options by drug class, including antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic agents
• Installs to a home screen and runs without a reliable connection
• Stays clearly educational, meant to back up clinical judgment rather than replace it
