Anaerobic coverage (however, metronidazole is generally superior for this). Clindamycin can be useful for lung abscess, due to combined coverage
Cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones have minimal anaerobic coverage. If MRSA coverage needed or PCN allergic: Doxycycline/TMP-SMX/clindamycin.
Clindamycin is an antibiotic with gram-positive and anaerobic coverage gram-positive and gram-negative coverage (38). They are unique because of

Streptococcus pneumoniae. Anaerobic coverage is good, but resistance is increasing among gut anaerobes (e.g, Bacteroides spp). Clindamycin is
Best anti-anaerobic agent (better coverage fewer problems with Clostridioides difficile compared to clindamycin). Cephalexin. Clindamycin (

Adding metronidazole for anaerobic coverage to antibiotics already with anaerobic activity HAS NOT been shown to improve clinical - Clindamycin may be added
