Penicillins
I. Natural:
Natural : benzylpenicillin
prolonged: benzylpenicillin benzathine
II. Semi-synthetic: Antistaphylococcal:
oxacillin
Aminopenicillins
ampicillin,
amoxicillin,
Antipseudomonal
piperacillin, ticarcillin
Penicillins with beta-lactamase inhibitor:

piperaciline/tazobactam.
Cephalosporins
1st Generations
Parenteral: Cefazolin Cephalothin Cephapirin
Oral: Cephalexin Cefadroxil Cephradine
Cephalosporins : Second generation
Parenteral: Cefuroxime Cefonicid Cefmetazole Cefoxitin Cefamandole Cefotetan
Oral: Cefuroxime axetil
Cefaclor Cefprozil Loracarbef
Cephalosporins: Third generation
Parenteral: Cefotaxime Ceftriaxone** Cefoperazone* Ceftazidime* Ceftizoxime
Oral: Ceftibuten** Cefixime** Cefditoren** Cefpodoxime Cefdinir**
- Drugs with antipseudomonal activity.
- The most long-acting drugs (appointed 1–2 times a day).
Cephalosporins: Fourth generation
Parenteral: Cefepime Cefpirome
Cephalosporins: Fifth generation
Parenteral: Ceftobiprole Ceftaroline
The classification by the mechanism of the action
the cell wall synthesis inhibitors (beta-lactam antibiotics, polymyxins, glycopeptides);
protein synthesis inhibitors of microbial cells (tetracyclines, macro- lides, lincosamides, aminoglycosides, etc.);
folic acid synthesis inhibitors (sulfonamides);
nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors (rifampicin, quinolones).
Adverse reactions to cephalosporins
The risk of adverse reactions is low. The following is typical for cephalosporins, as well as for penicillins:
1) allergic reactions,
2) gastrointestinal disorders,
3) pain at the injection site (particularly cephalothin). They are incompatible with alcohol (disulfi- ram-like effect).
Carbapenems
imipenem/cilastatin, meropenem,
Monobactams
aztreonam
