As most cases of uncomplicated cellulitis are caused by Strep, they are still best treated with a penicillin or cephalosporin (e.g., Keflex) type of antibiotic, known as beta-lactams. These antibiotics are much better than TMP-SMX for strep infections. These drugs are also safer than clindamycin, for widespread use. Clindamycin and TMP-SMX drugs should be reserved for abscesses or draining wounds with a high likelihood of MRSA, not used for every uncomplicated skin infection.
