They are structurally and pharmacologically related to the penicillins. Like penicillins‚ cephalosporins are bactericidal and work by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. They also bind to the same penicillin-binding

amount of the antibiotics we use today are formed by Bacillus‚ the endospore-forming bacteria. The others are produced by the molds‚ mostly Penicillium and Cephalosporium (Tortora 2010). The major subcategories of antibiotics are Penicillins‚ Cephalosporins‚ Macrolides‚ Fluoroquinolones‚ Sulfonamides‚ Tetracyclines‚ and Aminoglycosides (Tortora 2010).

a result a number of infected patient’s began to die due to resistance to the available drugs. Rahal became distressed and was shocked with the outcome; however he approached this problem with the idea that to cease using ceftazidime and other cephalosporins. Over years and years the patients took longer to get well; however no one died. He reduced the incidence of ceftazidime-resistant Klebsiella by 87.5%.

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic in the penicillin class that destroys bacteria. The mechanism of action of amoxicillin involves inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Therefore‚ it is valuable in destroying actively growing and cell wall synthesizing bacteria. Lysis of bacteria causes a lack of bacterial cell wall leading to death. Amoxicillin is used to treat several forms of infections of the nose‚ ear‚ skin‚ urinary tract‚ or throat and other infections caused by bacteria‚ such as bronchitis
