————&————- have PAEs against Gram -ve bacteria up to 4 hours.
Aminoglycosides (AG)
fluoroquinolones
The most beta-lactam (except for————) have no PAEs against G
imipenem
Example of Using the combination of antibiotics To achieve synergistic effects ?
Amoxicillin & Gentamicine
Example of Using the combination of antibiotics that will cause Drug antagonism:
penicillin plus tetracycline
Example of superinfection:
clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD)

Drug of choice for treatment of CDAD:
Metronidazole
Example of primary resistance:
methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the hospital
persons with antibiotic-resistant:
TB patients with multiple drug
resistance
————- interfere with folic acid synthesis
Sulfamethoxazole
