A type of antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including gram-negative bacteria.

A type of antibiotic that is effective against a narrower range of bacteria, often targeting specific types.

A severe, life-threatening allergic reaction to a drug or substance, characterized by airway swelling, difficulty breathing, and a rapid drop in blood pressure.

A group of antibiotics that are structurally similar to penicillin and often share similar side effects.

Antibiotics that effectively kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria by interfering with their cell wall synthesis.

A broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis. It's used for a variety of infections, including acne, peptic ulcer disease, and Lyme disease. It can interact with calcium supplements, milk products, iron supplements, antacids, and magnesium-containing laxatives.

A common side effect of tetracycline, it can cause irritation in the stomach.

Taking tetracycline with milk or other calcium-rich products can significantly decrease its absorption, making it less effective.

A broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis, often used as an alternative to penicillin for patients with allergies. It's effective against a wide variety of bacteria, including those causing whooping cough, diphtheria, and chlamydial infections.

Clindamycin is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and is effective against anaerobic bacteria. It's often used for treating infections outside the Central Nervous System (CNS). However, it can lead to a serious side effect called Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).

A type of diarrhea caused by an overgrowth of the bacteria Clostridium difficile, often seen as a side effect of using antibiotics like clindamycin. It can be severe and even life-threatening.

A bacteriostatic antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. It's effective against multidrug-resistant gram-positive bacteria like Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

The most common side effect of linezolid, it can lead to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

A class of antibiotics that primarily target aerobic gram-negative bacteria. These drugs can have serious side effects such as nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity.

A serious side effect of aminoglycosides, characterized by damage to the kidneys.

A serious side effect of aminoglycosides, characterized by damage to the inner ear, leading to hearing loss or balance problems.

A serious side effect of aminoglycosides, characterized by damage to the inner ear, leading to hearing loss or balance problems. Monitoring peak and trough levels helps prevent ototoxicity.

The highest concentration of a drug in the bloodstream after administration.

The lowest concentration of a drug in the bloodstream between doses.

The drug of choice for infections when gentamicin is ineffective.

A highly effective aminoglycoside for treating severe infections from specific types of bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Serratia, Proteus mirabilis).

A type of antibiotic treatment for UTIs that works against specific bacteria most commonly causing urinary tract infections.

A medication used to treat UTIs, especially in patients with renal calculi. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by disrupting DNA replication and cell division.

A common fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat infections caused by gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria.

A type of adverse event that can be caused by fluoroquinolones, particularly affecting the Achilles tendon.

A type of antibiotic treatment aimed at preventing the occurrence of a specific infection.

A type of infection that affects the bladder and urethra.

An antifungal medication used to treat various skin, mouth, and vaginal fungal infections. It is typically applied topically and can also be given orally in some cases.

A broad-spectrum antifungal agent that works by interfering with the fungal cell membrane. It can treat systemic fungal infections, but has a high toxicity profile.

A group of antifungals that are generally less toxic than amphotericin B. They are often used to treat a wide range of fungal infections, including skin, nail, and systemic infections.

An antifungal medication used primarily for candidiasis (yeast) infections. It is often taken orally but can also be used topically.

A potentially life-threatening complication caused by an overgrowth of Clostridium difficile bacteria in the gut, often triggered by antibiotic use.

A drug that is used to treat infections caused by bacteria.

An infection caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile, often occurring after antibiotic treatment.

A drug that is used to treat fungal infections.
