Beta-lactamase inhibitors
Binds irreversibly to beta-lactamase
Beta-lactamase inhibitors
Ampicillin, Amoxicillin
Amino-penicillins
Water soluble and can pass through porins – same mechanism as penicillin
Amino-penicillins
Ticarcillin, piperacillin
Anti-pseudomonal penicillin

Anti-pseudomonal penicillin
Monobactum
Axtreonam
Monocyclic beta-lactam, same mechanism as penicillin
