| Benzylpenicillin |
Benzylpenicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic. It is bacteriocidal by inhibiting bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. Penicillin resistance can be mediated by alteration of penicillin binding proteins or development of beta-lactamases. |
|
| Demeclocycline |
Tetracyclines have a broad spectrum of anti-microbial activity and act by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis. They are active against a large number of gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria, including some which are resistant to penicillin. |
|
| Floxacillin |
Flucloxacillin is an isoxazolyl penicillin of the ฮฒ-lactam group of antibiotics which exerts a bactericidal effect upon many Gram-positive organisms including ฮฒ-lactamase-producing staphylococci and streptococci. |
|
| Minocycline |
Minocycline is a semi-synthetic derivative of tetracycline. Minocycline inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria. In common with other tetracyclines it is primarily bacteriostatic and has a similar spectrum of activity to other tetracyclines. |
