Construct a table listing each of the antibiotics (aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, penicillins, sulfonamides, and tetracyclines). Label columns for therapeutic actions, pharmacokinetics, contraindications, common adverse reactions, and important drug-drug interactions. Do not forget to list your references in APA format for your original post and your reply to peers.

Macrolides, tetracyclines, oxazolidinones (e.g., linezolid), and aminoglycosides all produce their antibacterial effects by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis; however, each drug class has distinct uses. Why is azithromycin, but not doxycycline, most commonly used for treating community acquired pneumonia? If gentamicin is a bactericidal drug and linezolid is only bacteriostatic, why is linezolid generally considered the more restricted-use antibiotic and more “powerful” for treating Gram-positive infections?

3a. Describe two characteristics that antibiotics commonly share using the peptidoglycan-inhibiting drug penicillin as a specific example. b. Would you predict that penicillin would be bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal? Would it therefore be an effective antibiotic for a patient with a poor immune system? Explain why. Answer both questions thoroughly and completely.
