  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. 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 ...

  4. 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]

  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.

  6. Flucloxacillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flucloxacillin

    Flucloxacillin and dicloxacillin showed particular stability against the beta-lactamase enzyme of Staph. aureus and could withstand acid. [ 29 ] [ 30 ] Beecham further developed cloxacillin and popularised flucloxacillin in the UK, while Bristol Laboratories concentrated on marketing oxacillin and dicloxacillin in the United States, leading to ...

  8. Cloxacillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloxacillin

    Cloxacillin is used against staphylococci that produce beta-lactamase, due to its large R chain, which does not allow the beta-lactamases to bind. This drug has a weaker antibacterial activity than benzylpenicillin, and is devoid of serious toxicity except for allergic reactions. [citation needed]

  9. Dettol antiseptic liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dettol_antiseptic_liquid

    Dettol antiseptic liquid is a product produced by the Dettol Brand for Reckitt.It is light yellow in color in the concentrated form but, as several of the ingredients are insoluble in water, it produces a milky emulsion of oil droplets when diluted with water, exhibiting the ouzo effect.
