Children CarbapenemAntibioticCarbapenems are a class of very effective Antibiotic agents most commonly used for the treatment of severe bacterial infections. This class of antibiotics is usually reserved for known or suspected MultiDrugResistantBacterium. Similar to Penicillins and cephalosporins, carbapenems are members of the beta-lactam antibiotics drug class, which kill bacteria by binding to penicillin-binding Proteins, thus inhibiting bacterial CellWall synthesis. However, these agents individually exhibit a broader spectrum of activity compared to most cephalosporins and penicillins. Furthermore, carbapenems are typically unaffected by emerging antibiotic resistance, even to other beta-lactams.[from Wikipedia]
 CephalosporinThe cephalosporins are a class of β-lactam Antibiotics originally derived from the fungus Acremonium, which was previously known as Cephalosporium. Together with cephamycins, they constitute a subgroup of β-lactam antibiotics called cephems. First-generation cephalosporins are active predominantly against Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. They are therefore used mostly for Skin and soft Tissue InfectiousDiseases and the prevention of hospital-acquired surgical infections.[from Wikipedia]
 ClarithromycinClarithromycin, sold under the brand name Biaxin among others, is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. This includes strep throat, pneumonia, skin infections, H. pylori infection, and Lyme disease, among others. Clarithromycin can be taken by mouth as a pill or liquid. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headaches, and diarrhea. Severe allergic reactions are rare. Liver problems have been reported. It may cause harm if taken during pregnancy. It is in the macrolide class and works by decreasing protein production of some bacteria.[from Wikipedia]
 DoxycyclineAn OralAntibiotic that is used to treat a wide variety of BacterialDiseases, including traveler's diarrhea. Recommended for prevention of inhalational Anthrax in subjects who may have been exposed to aeresolized BacillusAnthracis.
 InjectedAntibioticAn Antibiotic that is meant for Injecting into a patient.
