Antistaphylococcal penicillins are a group of antibiotics specifically designed to combat infections caused by Staphylococcus bacteria, including the notorious Staphylococcus aureus. Examples include methicillin, oxacillin, and nafcillin. They're crucial in treating various staph infections, although some strains have developed resistance over time.
Piperacillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the penicillin group. It's effective against a wide range of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Piperacillin is often used in combination with tazobactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, to extend its spectrum of activity and overcome bacterial resistance. It's commonly used to treat severe infections such as pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, and urinary tract infections.
