5. Antimicrobial spectrum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_spectrum

   Narrow-spectrum antibiotics have low propensity to induce bacterial resistance and are less likely to disrupt the microbiome (normal microflora). [3] On the other hand, indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may not only induce the development of bacterial resistance and promote the emergency of multidrug-resistant organisms, but also cause off-target effects due to dysbiosis.

7. Extended-spectrum penicillin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended-spectrum_penicillin

   The extended-spectrum penicillins are a group of antibiotics that have the widest antibacterial spectrum of all penicillins. [1] Some sources identify them with antipseudomonal penicillins, [2] others consider these types to be distinct. [3] This group includes the carboxypenicillins and the ureidopenicillins.
