Question

give the classification of antibiotics with examples​

Answer 1

Answer:

Antibiotics are medicines that fight bacterial infections in people and animals. They work by killing the bacteria or by making it hard for the bacteria to grow and multiply. Antibiotics can be taken in different ways: orally (by mouth). This could be pills, capsules, or liquids.

Antibiotics are classified into one of the following classes: penicillins, fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, macrolides, beta-lactams with increased activity (e.g. amoxicillin-clavulanate), tetracyclines, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, lincosamides (e.g. clindamycin), urinary anti-infectives, and others.

Answer 2

Answer :

Based on the mechanism of action, the antibiotics can be classified as

i) Bactericidal Antibiotics.

ii) Bacteriostatic Antibiotics.

i) Bactericidal Antibiotics.

Bactericidal antibiotics are antibiotics which kill the bacteria causing infection.

ii) Bacteriostatic Antibiotics.

Bacteriostatic antibiotics inhibit the growth or reproduction of the infection.

Examples of Bactericidal antibiotics: Penicillin.

Penicillin: Penicillin kills the bacteria by bursting the cell wall of bacteria.

Examples of Bacteriostatic Antibiotics: Erythromycin.

Erythromycin : Erythromycin works by inhibiting of protein synthesis of the bacteria which will stop or slow the growth of infection.
