  1. 1What are four characteristics of penicillins?
    1. A- strong gram negative coverage
      - strengthens D-ala/D-ala of the bacterial cell wall
      - decreased hypersensitivity reactions
      - binds to transpeptidases
    2. B- sensitive to beta lactamases
      - poor gram negative coverage
      - decreased risk of hypersensitivity reactions
      - detaches from transpeptidases
    3. C- sensitive to beta lactamases
      - poor gram negative coverage
      - binds to transpeptidases
