As a class, penicillins are NOT active against
MRSA or atypical organisms
Natural penicillins coverage
Gram positive cocci (streptococci and enterococci, NOT staphylococci)
Gram positive anaerobes (mouth flora)
Aminopenicillins coverage
Gram positive cocci (streptococci and enterococci)
Gram positive anaerobes (mouth flora)
Gram negative bacteria (Haempaphilus, Neisseria, Proteus, E.coli
Aminopenicillins + beta lactamase inhibitors

MSSA
more resistant strains of gram-negative (HNPEK)
gram negative anaerobes (B. fragilis)
Extended-spectrum penicillins combined with a beta-lactamase inhibitor (pip/tazo) = coverage
