This document summarizes beta lactam antibiotics, which contain a beta lactam ring in their structure. The two major groups are penicillins and cephalosporins. Penicillin was the first antibiotic discovered in 1928 and was the first to be used clinically to treat infections. Beta lactam antibiotics work by inhibiting the transpeptidase enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis, resulting in cell lysis. While effective, they can cause adverse effects like hypersensitivity reactions and toxicity. Semisynthetic derivatives were created to improve properties like oral efficacy, spectrum of activity, and resistance to degradation.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
The Gram stain is a fundamental technique in microbiology used to classify bacteria based on their cell wall structure. It provides a quick and simple method to distinguish between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which have different susceptibilities to antibiotics

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

These are the antibiotics contains
BETA LACTAM ring in their
structure
The two major groups containing
beta lactam ring are
Penicillins
Cephalosporins

3. PENICILLINS
Penicillin was discovered by scientist Alexander Fleming
penicillin is obtained from Penicillium notatum or P. chrysogenum
It was discovered in 1928
Penicillin was the first antibiotic to be used clinically in 1941

4. Interfere with synthesis of bacterial cell wall
Usually the bacterial cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan
N- acetylmuramic acid
N- acetylglucosamine
Peptidoglycan residues are linked together and UDP is split off
Final step is cleavage of terminal D-alanine of the peptide by transpeptidase,
process known as transpeptidation
This cross linking provides greater strength of bacterial cell wall
Beta lactams inhibit the transpeptidase so that cross linking does not take
place
This results in cell wall deficient forms are produced and lysis of bacteria
takes place

MECHANISM OF ACTION
7. 7
PENICILLIN-G
Penicillin-G is a narrow spectrum
antibiotic
Its activity is limited primarily to gram-
positive bacteria, few gram negative
ones and anaerobes.
It is the drug of first choice for many
infections
8. Local irritancy and direct toxicity: Pain at i.m. injection site, nausea
on oral ingestion
Toxicity to the brain may be manifested as mental confusion,
muscular twitching, convulsions and coma, when very large doses are
injected through i.v route
Accidental i.v. injection of procaine penicillin produces CNS
stimulation, hallucinations and convulsions
Hypersensitivity: rash, itching, urticaria and fever. Wheezing,
angioneurotic edema, serum sickness and exfoliative dermatitis
8
ADVERSE EFFECTS
9. In rare cases,
Swelling of the tongue, throat and lips
Respiratory symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, chest
tightness, wheezing
Light-headedness
9
ADVERSE EFFECTS
10. Semisynthetic penicillins are produced by chemically combining
specific side chains in place of benzyl side chain of PnG
The aim of producing semisynthetic penicillins has been to overcome
the shortcomings of PnG
Poor oral efficacy.
Susceptibility to penicillinase.
Narrow spectrum of activity.
Hypersensitivity reactions
10
SEMISYNTHETIC PENICILLINS
11. ACID-RESISTANT: Phenoxymethyl penicillin (Penicillin V)
It differs from PnG only in that it is acid stable. Oral absorption is better; peak
blood level is reached in 1 hour and plasma t½ is 30–60 min.
PENICILLINASE-RESISTANT PENICILLINS: Methicillin,
Cloxacillin, Dicloxacillin
These congeners have side chains that protect the β-lactam ring from attack by
staphylococcal penicillinase
11
SEMISYNTHETIC PENICILLINS
12. AMINOPENICILLINS: Ampicillin
It is active against all organisms sensitive to PnG. In addition, many
gram-negative bacilli, e.g. H. influenzae, E. coli, Proteus, Salmonella
Shigella and Helicobacter pylori are inhibited.
USES
Urinary tract infections
Respiratory tract infections
Meningitis
Gonorrhoea
12
EXTENDED SPECTRUM PENICILLINS
13. Carboxypenicillins: Carbenicillin
The special feature of this penicillin congener is its activity
against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and indole positive Proteus which are
not inhibited by PnG or aminopenicillins.
Ureidopenicillins: Piperacillin
This antipseudomonal penicillin is about 8 times more active than
carbenicillin. It has good activity against Klebsiella, It is frequently
employed for treating serious gram negative infections in
neutropenic/immunocompromised patients
13
EXTENDED SPECTRUM PENICILLINS
14. Beta-lactamase inhibitors can block the activity of beta-lactamase
enzymes and prevents the degradation of beta-lactam antibiotics
β-lactamases are a family of enzymes produced by many gram-
positive and gram-negative bacteria that inactivate β-lactam antibiotics
by opening the β-lactam ring
Clavulanic acid
Obtained from Streptomyces clavuligerus, it has a β-lactam ring
but no antibacterial activity of its own. It inhibits a wide variety of β-
lactamases produced by both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
14
BETA-LACTAMASE INHIBITORS
16. Cephalosporins are a group of
semisynthetic antibiotics derived
from ‘cephalosporin-C’ obtained
from a fungus Cephalosporium
The nucleus consists of a β-lactam
ring fused to a dihydrothiazine
ring,(7-aminocephalosporanic acid)
All cephalosporins are bactericidal
and have the same mechanism of
action as penicillin
16
CEPHALOSPORINS
18. Pain after i.m. injection occurs with many cephalosporins
Diarrhoea
Hypersensitivity reactions Rashes are the most frequent manifestation,
but anaphylaxis, angioedema, asthma and urticaria have also occurred
in rare cases
Nephrotoxicity
Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia are rare adverse effects
18
ADVERSE EFFECTS
19. As alternatives to penicillins for upper respiratory and cutaneous
infections
urinary and soft tissue infections caused by gram-negative organisms
Septicaemias caused by gram-negative organisms: cefuroxime,
cefotaxime
pneumonia
Meningitis: ceftriaxone, cefotaxime
biliary tract infection
urinary tract infection
sinusitis: cefadroxil
19
USES
20. MONOBACTAMS
The main monobactam is aztreonam , which is resistant to most β-
lactamases effective only against Gram-negative aerobic bacilli
CARBAPENEMS
Imipenem, an example of a carbapenem, acts in the same way as the
other β-lactams being active against many aerobic and anaerobic
Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms
It is resistant to most β-lactamases, inhibits penicillinase producing
staphylococci
