Antibiotics?

[Pari]

I have difficulties really understanding the antibiotic choices. I confess that I know just a little about them as a pharmacist! Can anybody help me reviewing this chapter?
I know the adverse effects cautions etc but their usage!

Do you need to know how they work, the different classes etc. or do you want to know the choices in various clinical situations?

dear Admin
I do know those things about the different classes, the mechanisms etc, I meant the choices in various clinical situations.
Thank you for your attention.

there are different kind of antibiotics,the most effective one are broad spectrum that means they act on both gram positive and gram negative bacteria such as the -cillins
But most antibiotics only work aerobes whilst metronidazole acts on areobes and anaerobes (these strive without oxygen)
Anyway the less antibiotics prescribed the better!
:lol:

dear Kemzero,
I was talking about antibiotics as a pharmacist not as other people! This way I know a lot lot about them! :lol:
as I replied to Admin before I wish I could make a better review about clinical adminstration.
but thank you for your attention any how. :wink:

Do you want a list of common infections and the anti-biotics that we use here in the UK? How much do you need? Are there any specific ones you need to know about, or have you a case you are trying to understand/help with?

:shock:

Thank you for your attention.

Local centres publish current local guidelines dependant on local levels of resistance. - Can't find one on-line though
