Goal of Antibacterial Kill bacteria or stop reproduction without harming
Drugs the patient.
Spectrum of Antibacterial Spectrum ≠ 'stronger'; match drug to bug (use
Drugs culture & sensitivity).

Adverse Effects of Allergy/anaphylaxis; C. difficile risk.
Antibacterial Drugs
Cell Wall Synthesis Bactericidal agents that inhibit bacterial cell wall
Inhibitors synthesis.
Penicillins Example: amoxicillin.
Cephalosporins Examples: cefazolin, cephalexin.
Monobactams Example: aztreonam.
Carbapenems Example: imipenem/cilastatin.
Glycopeptide Example: vancomycin.
Allergy Risk with Cell Allergy ↑ (cross‑sensitivity: penicillin ↔
Wall Inhibitors cephalosporins).
Adverse Effects of N/V, fever/chills, 'red man syndrome,' hearing ↓,
Vancomycin kidney function ↓; CNS changes, nephrotoxicity.
Administration of Give vancomycin SLOWLY.
