Pe nicil lin s
MOA: Inhibit bacterial wall synthesis by
binding to peptidoglycans.
Pe nicil lin s
Dicloxacillin is unsurpassed as an
oral Beta-lactamase-resistant
pencillin, effective against most
pyodermas.
Amoxicillin is hydrolyzed by Beta-
lactamases and thus is not effective
against Staphyloccocus aureus and
many Enterobacteriaceae species
Pe nicil lin s
Adverse effects: Hypersensitivity, GI.
5-10% of PCN allergic pts are also
allergic to Cephalosporins (?)
Augmentin contains the Beta-
lactamase inhibitor Clavulanate,
which synergistically increases
spectrum of activity against MRSA,
Haemophilus sp, Klebsiella sp, E.
coli, Proteus sp, B. fragilis.
Ce phalo sp orin s
MOA: Inhibit PCN-binding proteins,
preventing cell wall synthesis. Chemical
structure is Beta-lactamase resistant.

No well controlled studies in pregnant
women.
Use only if potential benefit outweighs
risk.

Pregnancy category C
Teratogenic in animals, no human
studies.
Ac yc lo vir
MOA: Herpes infected cells create viral
Thymidine kinase (TK) 100 times faster than
non-infected cells.
Acyclovir is an acyclic guanine nucleoside
analog that is phosphorylated by viral TK 3
times (triphosphate form)
Interferes with viral DNA polymerase,
preventing viral replication
