Feedback:
Common superinfections include vaginal or gastrointestinal yeast infections, which are associated with antibiotic therapy, and infections caused by Proteus and Pseudomonas throughout the body, which are a result of broad-spectrum antibiotic use. Probenicid is a medication, not a causative organism. Protozoa and E. coli do not usually cause superinfections.
