Aminopenicillins
What are Aminopenicillins?
Aminopenicillins. Amoxicillin and ampicillin are 2 of the most commonly prescribed aminopenicillins. Immediate reactions are IgE-mediated to either the common β-lactam structure or the R-group side chain.
Ampicillin has more extended activity against aerobic gram-negative bacilli than penicillin, but an increasing number of strains of coliforms have become resistant to the drug. Penicillin and ampicillin are effective in both oral and parenteral formulations, and they are very inexpensive.
Penicillin is a class of antibiotic medications. Penicillins treat bacterial infections like strep throat, ear infections and urinary tract infections. They work by attaching to and damaging the cell walls of bacteria. Types of penicillin include penicillin V, penicillin G, amoxicillin and ampicillin.
