Antibiotic Classification & Mechanism
Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms Bacteria develop ability to hydrolyze these drugs using* β lactamase* confers resistance to* penicillin* e.g. E. coli, Staph epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae add *β lactamase inhibitor* e.g. clavulanic acid in amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin)
