What would a doctor give you if you are allergic to penicillin?
Penicillin is a beta-lactam. Although beta-lactam antibiotics are wide-spectrum antibiotics, meaning they can be effective against a wide array of infections, there are other options in cases where it is not possible to administer beta-lactams. This is information I have gathered from other sources below.
How do the antibiotic actions of penicillin and streptomycin differ?
Penicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic while streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Beta-lactams generally act by inhibiting transpeptidation of peptidoglycan synthesis in cell wall synthesis. Aminoglycosides interact with the 30s ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein synthesis in the cell.
What is the substitute drug for amoxcicillin?
If you are wondering what is the name of a drug that contains amoxicillin - one would be Augmentin. This is made of amoxicillin and clavulanate. Clavulanate is what is referred to as a 'beta lactamase inhibitor' and this allows amoxicillin to be effective against drug-resistant bacteria that produce beta lactamase. Words ending in -ase are generally enzymes that are going to break something down. The penicillin family of antibiotics are called 'beta lactams' due to their structure. Some bacteria have developed beta lactamase in order to break down these antibiotics, thereby becoming a drug-resistant bacteria.
What is ciprofloxacillin?
"Ciprofloxacillin" doesn't exist. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic often used for respiratory and urinary tract infections. The "-cillin" suffix is afixed to medications in the penicillin class (amoxicillin, piperacillin, nafcillin), which are beta-lactams rather than fluoroquinolones. They are commonly used against skin and skin-structure infections. -Friendly Neighborhood Pharmacist

What is Murza?
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a bacterium responsible for difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It may also be referred to as multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(ORSA). MRSA are by definition strains of Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to a large group of antibiotics called the beta-lactams, which include the penicillins and the cephalosporins.

Beta Beta Beta's motto is 'Blepein Basin Biou'.
What is chlamydia and what part of the body does it affect?
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection; it generally affects the genitourinary system in males, and the genital system in females. It can also affect the conjunctiva of the eye in both sexes. It can cause sterility or blindness. However, it's curable with certain kinds of antibiotics such as azithromycin (beta-lactams such as penicillin inhibit the growth of the bacteria without actually killing them, so penicillin is not an effective cure).
What drugs need peak and trough levels?
Drugs that need peak and trough levels monitoring include aminoglycosides (e.g. gentamicin, vancomycin), antiepileptic drugs (e.g. phenytoin, carbamazepine), and certain antibiotics (e.g. beta-lactams with time-dependent killing). Peak levels indicate drug efficacy and trough levels help prevent toxicity. Monitoring ensures optimal therapeutic levels are maintained.
