Beta-Lactam Antibiotic is a representative of a group of medicinal substances that include derivatives of penicillin and cephalosporin. The molecules of all representatives of this group include a four-membrane beta-lactam ring. The effect of beta-lactam antibiotics on the human body is associated with their effect on the growth of the cell walls of many bacteria. Bacteria become resistant to these antibiotics by producing betalactamases, special enzymes (such as penicillinase) that destroy the betalactam ring.
The beta-lactam antibiotic is a representative of a group of medicinal substances that contain derivatives of penicillins and cephalosporins. All representatives of this group contain a four-membrane beta-lactam ring.
The effect of beta-lactamine antibiotics on the body is associated with the effect on the growth of the bacterial cell wall. When bacteria begin to produce special enzymes - beta-lactamase, which destroys the beta-lactam ring, they become resistant to antibiotics of this group.
Beta-lactamine antibiotics are widely used in medical practice to treat various infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, etc. They can be prescribed either alone or in combination with other antibiotics.
However, with the development of bacteria that produce beta-lactamases, resistance to beta-lactamine antibiotics is becoming more common. Therefore, it is important to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and promptly adjust therapy if necessary.

Antibiotics are medicines designed to fight bacteria that cause disease in people and animals. They destroy harmful microorganisms, stopping the processes of reproduction and development of bacteria, thereby facilitating rapid healing.
The beta-lactam group of antibiotics are a broad class of antibiotics that contain a group of chemically related antibiotics called beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins.
The betalactam group of antibiotics were developed first as antibiotics known as betalactamases in the 20th century. First betalactamampri
