We will discuss antibiotic classes along with their coverage, mechanism of action, drug names, and example uses. We will make antibiotic pharmacology easy with a mnemonic to remember the different antibiotic classifications along with a chart that is helpful for nursing, medical students, USMLE, NCLEX, and much more!

The video reviews antibiotic class categories including penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, carbapenems, lincosamides, and glycopeptides.

Use the antibiotic classification mnemonic in the video to remember them all.

The pharmacology of antibiotics can be learned using 3 easy tricks to help you remember the gram positive and/or negative coverage, drug names, and mechanism of action of each class!

Some antibiotic mechanism of actions include the inhibition of protein synthesis, cell wall synthesis, folate synthesis, or DNA replication.
