The question does not give any options, I found the excercise on the web and here are the options:
a. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus au-reus
b. Neisseria meningitidis
c. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
d. Streptococcus pyogenes
e. Treponema pallidum

The correct choices are: B, D, E

Penicillin G is the primary medication of choice for N. meningitidis. It is a medication of first choice for contaminations caused by sensitive gram-positive cocci, including S. pyogenes. It is a medication of choice for T. pallidum. It isn't powerful against methicillin-resistant S. aureus or P. aeruginosa.
