adverse effects of penicillins G and V ?
hypersensitivity reactions, direct Coombs + hemolytic anemia, drug-induced interstitial nephritis
Resistance mechanism of bacteria against penicillin G and V?
Beta-lactamase cleaves the B-lactam ring OR mutations in PBPs
What are the penicillinase-sensitive penicillins?
