Antibacterial agents include penicillins, chloramphenicol, aminoglycosides such as gentamicin, macrolides such as erythromycin, tetracyclines and antimetabolites such as sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim. These agents are used to treat and manage infections caused by pathogenic bacteria.
This article provides a primer for penicillin, looking at the sources, mode/mechanisms of action, spectrum of activity, clinical application/usage, and the side effects and/or toxicity.
