It's not intentionally done. Patients that end up on broad spectrum antibiotics are typically cultured however, cultures take 48-72 hours for results to be confirmed of the pathogen that is causing symptoms such as fevers, elevated wbcs, tachycardia, hypotension, lactic acid elevation, etc. Broad spectrum is started as a "shot gun approach" in order to target the bad pathogen causing some good bacteria to be eliminated. Once the pathogens are confirmed broad spectrum antibiotics are discontìnueď and narrow spectrum abx are started.
