  2. Antibiotic synergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_synergy

    A classic example of this effect is the interaction between β-lactams, which damage the bacteria cell membrane, and aminoglycosides, which inhibit protein synthesis. [1] The damage dealt to the cell wall by β-lactams allows more aminoglycoside molecules to be taken up into the cell than would otherwise be possible, enhancing cell damage. [ 1 ]

  7. Drug interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_interaction

    When two drugs affect each other, it is a drugdrug interaction (DDI). The risk of a DDI increases with the number of drugs used. [1] A large share of elderly people regularly use five or more medications or supplements, with a significant risk of side-effects from drugdrug interactions. [2] Drug interactions can be of three kinds:

  8. Aminopenicillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminopenicillin

    The aminopenicillins are a group of antibiotics in the penicillin family that are structural analogs of ampicillin (which is the 2-amino derivative of benzylpenicillin, hence the name). [1] Like other penicillins and beta-lactam antibiotics, they contain a beta-lactam ring that is crucial to its antibacterial activity. [citation needed]
