1. Penicillins: Used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including strep throat, pneumonia, and skin infections.
2. Cephalosporins: Similar to penicillins, cephalosporins are used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections.
3. Macrolides: Effective against respiratory infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, as well as skin infections and sexually transmitted diseases.
4. Fluoroquinolones: Used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections.
5. Tetracyclines: Effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including acne, respiratory infections, and sexually transmitted diseases.
6. Aminoglycosides: Used to treat serious bacterial infections, such as sepsis, pneumonia, and certain types of meningitis.
7. Sulfonamides: Effective against urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and certain types of skin infections.
8. Carbapenems: Reserved for serious bacterial infections that are resistant to other types of antibiotics, such as pneumonia and sepsis.
9. Glycopeptides: Used to treat serious bacterial infections, such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and other antibiotic-resistant infections.
10. Lincosamides: Effective against skin infections, respiratory infections, and certain types of bacterial vaginosis.
