Anyone ever hear of the antibiotic called trimethroprim-sulfamethoxasole,
also known as TMP-SMZ?  I am acting as a reluctant host to an infection 
(probably bacterial, but possibly viral - I don't know) that has become 
immune to tetracycline, keflex, and a host of other antibiotics 
because they don't concentrate well in the infected area.  

I think TMP-SMZ is a new antibiotic.  I'd interested in any information, 
especially contra-indications, you may know of.
