abcess antibiotics

Hello, just wondering if anyone has treated an abscess with just antibiotics. It seems like that the general practice is to do I/D +/- antibiotics. Also, what are some common antibiotics that have good abscess penetration? I'm guessing that the antibiotic you're using would be even more tailored to the type of abscess you're treating (ex. GI vs. superficial), right? Thanks everyone in advance. Edit: I/D or percutaneous drainage under guidance.
