Ampicillin
Antibiotic penicillin class used specifically against pseudomonas
Carbenicillin
Cephalosporins Mechanism of action
Same as penicillin; Bactericidal • Cell wall synthesis inhibitor, β-lactam
Monobactams mechanism of action
Bactericidal Cell wall synthesis inhibitor, β-lacta
Example of Monobactam
Aztreonam
Carbapenems mechanism of action
Cell wall synthesis inhibitor, β-lactam
Example of Carbapenem
Imipe[nem]
The Broadest antimicrobial spectrum
Tetracyclines
Tetracyclines mechanism of action
Bacteriostatic
Protein synthesis inhibitor (30S ribosomal
subunit)
How to remember Macrolides
Mac likes to throw mice
Ery[thro][myci]n, etc… Clarithromycin, Azithromycin

- Bacteriostatic
* Protein synthesis inhibitor (50S ribosomal subunit)
