    3.
    Ampicillin is the first choice for Enterococcus and Listeria infections
    .

    4.
    Bacterial meningitis (children aged less than 1 month) common pathogens include G+ bacteria (group B hemolytic streptococcus, Listeria), G-bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia), Ampicillin + ceftriaxone is the first choice
    .

    2.
    Cephalosporins 1.

    4.
    Cefoperazone can cause hypothrombinemia or bleeding.
    Combination of vitamin K can prevent bleeding
    .

    3.
    Cephalosporins and Oxycephalosporins 1.
    The antibacterial spectrum is similar to the second and third generation cephalosporins
    .

    2.
    It has a good effect on anaerobic bacteria
    .

    3.
    Stable to β-lactamase
    .

    4.
    It can cause disulfiram-like reactions
    .

    Four, carbapenems and penicillenes 1.
    Carbapenems can cause serious central nervous system adverse reactions
    .

    2.
    Patients with central nervous system infection should not use imipenem/cilastatin
    .

    3.
    Carbapenems can reduce the blood concentration of valproic acid and increase the risk of epileptic seizures
    .
    Combined application is not recommended .

    4.
    Penicillene antibacterial drugs: Faropenem can be taken orally
    .

    5.
    Monocyclic β-lactams 1.
    Mainly used for aerobic G-bacteria infection
    .

    2.
    Low nephrotoxicity
    .

    3.
    Rare cross allergic reactions with penicillins
    .

    6.
    Aminoglycosides 1.
    Mainly used for G-bacillus infection
    .

    2.
    Has nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity (cochlea, vestibular)
    .

    3.
    Has neuromuscular blockade
    .

    7.
    Lincosamides 1.
    Lincosamides and macrolides have the same mechanism of action.
    They mainly bind to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis and have cross-resistance
    .

    2.
    Both lincosamides and aminoglycosides have neuromuscular blocking effects, so avoid using them together as much as possible
    .

    3.
    Clindamycin can be excreted through bile and feces, and the antibacterial activity in feces can last for 5 days after stopping the drug
    .

    Easily cause double infection and pseudomembranous enteritis
    .

    8.
    Tetracyclines and Glycylcyclines 1.
    Glycylcyclines are derivatives of tetracyclines, which can also cause permanent tooth staining and enamel dysplasia in patients with tooth development (from embryonic stage to 8 years old)
    .

    2.
    Minocycline, doxycycline: can cause benign intracranial hypertension, adverse vestibular reactions and skin pigmentation
    .

    3.
    Medication explanation: Minocycline and doxycycline should be taken with food and taken with a large glass of water.
    After taking the medicine, stand upright for more than 1 hour and avoid light

    Erythromycin has the risk of causing pyloric stenosis and is not recommended for newborns within 28 days
    .

    4.
    Erythromycin has a significant effect on promoting gastrointestinal motility
    .

    5.
    Erythromycin and clarithromycin: have a strong inhibitory effect on CYP3A4, and can significantly increase the blood concentration of nifedipine and simvastatin
    .

    10.
    Quinolones 1.
    Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin have Pseudomonas aeruginosa activity
    .

    2.
    Moxifloxacin has strong anti-anaerobic activity and can be used as a single agent to treat mild and complex abdominal infections; when levofloxacin is used for abdominal, biliary tract infections and pelvic infections, it needs to be combined with anti-anaerobic drugs such as metronidazole
    .

    3.
