- INTRODUCTION: Antibiotics have traditionally been classified as bactericidal or bacteriostatic. Azithromycin belongs to the parent class of macrolides that are characteristically bacteriostatic. Some evidence suggests that this molecule demonstrates bactericidal kill and has concentration-dependent effects.he pharmacodynamic properties of azithromycin in a kinetics-of-kill model and implications for bacterial conjunctivitis treatment.

Streptomyces They produce over two-thirds of the clinically useful antibiotics of natural origin (e.g., neomycin, cypemycin, grisemycin, bottromycins and chloramphenicol). The now uncommonly used streptomycin takes its name directly from Streptomyces.treptomyces is the largest antibiotic-producing genus, producing antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic drugs, and also a wide range of other bioactive compounds, such as immunosuppressants.

Antibiotics for Actinomyces Antibiotics for Actinomyces. Actinomycetes are a subgroup of the actinobacteria, which are Gram positive organisms with a high G+C ratio in their DNA. This group is very ancient, and branched off from the other groups very early in the evolutionary sequence. Melon canker caused by Mycosphaerella and powdery mildews caused by Erysiphe.

Actinomycetes Remarkable Antibiotics, Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria, Decomposer. Actinomycetes are a remarkable type of bacteria. So far we know they function in at least three important ways. the Streptomyces family, provides us with many of the important antibiotics we use in medicine today, the Frankia family, works in a symbiotic relationship with many non legume plants as nitrogen fixing bacteria.

trimethoprim Antibiotics can be classified into several groups according to their mode of action on or within bacteria: (1) Drugs inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, such as bacitracin, vancomycin and the β-lactams based agents (e.g. penicillin, cephalosporins (e.g. ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefuroxime).

- HA-MRSA is resistant even to these antibiotics and often is susceptible only to vancomycin. Newer drugs, such as linezolid (belonging to the newer oxazolidinones class) and daptomycin, are effective against both CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA.

Daptomycin Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic that kills susceptible gram positive bacteria by disrupting their membrane potential. It is a naturally-occurring compound found in the soil bacterium Streptomyces roseosporus. Antibiotics are used in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria. They work by killing bacteria or preventing their growth. Daptomycin will not work for colds, flu, or other virus infections. It was approved in September 2003 for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections. It has a safety profile similar to other agents commonly administered to treat gram-positive infections.

Penicillins Vancomycin is an inhibitor of cell wall synthesis and is bactericidal for gram positive organisms. Antibiotics exert their effects via five basic mechanisms: (1) Inhibition of cell wall synthesis (cephalosporins, penicillins, vancomycin, imipenem). (2) Increasing cell membrane permeability (Bacitracin).

Classification of Penicillin The aminopenicillins were the first class of penicillins, which were discovered as active agents against several gram (-) bacteria (e.g. H. influenzae and E. coli). This class of penicillins have acid resistant properties, and for this reason they are available in oral dosage forms. Orally administered drugs (amoxicillin, Bacampicillin and ampicillin) of this class are usually used in several mild infections, including sinusitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, bronchitis, bacterial diarrhea and UTIs.

- The class Bacilli is a classification of cocci or rod shaped bacteria, and that is what the Streptococcus pyogenes are. Lactobacillales are an order of the gram positive bacteria comprising the lactic acid bacteria. Streptococcus pygenes produces lactic acid, so it is therefore classified under the lactobacillales. Streptococcaceae are gram positive non-sporulating bacteria including many parasitic, pathogenic and saprophytic forms.

Antibiotics Guide Top 10 List of Antibiotic Classes (Types of Antibiotics): Most antibiotics fall into their individual antibiotic classes. An antibiotic class is a grouping of different drugs that have similar chemical and pharmacologic properties. Their chemical structures may look comparable, and drugs within the same class may kill the same or related bacteria.
