  2. Dicloxacillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicloxacillin

    Dicloxacillin is a narrow-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic of the penicillin class. [1] It is used to treat infections caused by susceptible (non-resistant) Gram-positive bacteria . [ 1 ] It is active against beta-lactamase -producing organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus , which would otherwise be resistant to most penicillins .

  3. Cloxacillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloxacillin

    Cloxacillin is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of several bacterial infections. [1] This includes impetigo, cellulitis, pneumonia, septic arthritis, and otitis externa. [1] It is not effective for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). [2] It can be used by mouth and by injection. [1]

  4. Flucloxacillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flucloxacillin

    Flucloxacillin has similar pharmacokinetics, antibacterial activity, and indications to dicloxacillin, and the two agents are considered interchangeable. It is reported to have higher, though rare, incidence of severe hepatic adverse effects than dicloxacillin, [ 28 ] but a lower incidence of renal adverse effects.

  5. Abscess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscess

    The standard treatment for an uncomplicated skin or soft tissue abscess is the act of opening and draining. [4] There does not appear to be any benefit from also using antibiotics in most cases. [1] A small amount of evidence did not find a benefit from packing the abscess with gauze. [1]

  6. Beta-lactamase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-lactamase

    The two types of beta-lactamases work on the basis of the two basic mechanisms of opening the β-lactam ring. [2] The SBLs are similar in structure and mechanistically to the β-lactam target penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which are necessary for cell wall building and modifying. SBLs and PBPs both covalently change an active site serine ...

  7. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

    MRSA can be eradicated with a regimen of linezolid, [87] though treatment protocols vary and serum levels of antibiotics vary widely from person to person and may affect outcomes. [88] The effective treatment of MRSA with linezolid has been successful [87] in 87% of people. Linezolid is more effective in soft tissue infections than vancomycin.

  9. Methicillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin

    Its role in therapy has been largely replaced by oxacillin (used for clinical antimicrobial susceptibility testing), flucloxacillin and dicloxacillin, but the term methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to be used to describe S. aureus strains resistant to all penicillins.
