Most Common Antibiotic?

Here is an excript from wikipedia:


Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a Gram-positive, alpha-hemolytic diplococcus bacterium and a member of the genus Streptococcus.[1] A significant human pathogen, S. pneumoniae was recognized as a major cause of pneumonia in the late 19th century and is the subject of many humoral immunity studies.

Despite the name, the organism causes many types of infection other than pneumonia, including acute sinusitis, otitis media, meningitis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, endocarditis, peritonitis, pericarditis, cellulitis, and brain abscess.

But don't most doctors you see with an infection not even test for what kind of bacteria it is and just guess from symptoms and throw a script at you? Guess that seems to be my experience and from what you seem to be saying that could be very dangerous.
