The beta-lactam group of antibiotics such as penicillins (i.e. Amoxicillin), cephalosporins (i.e. Cefuroxime), and carbapenems (i.e. Meropenem) is the most widely used group of antibiotics. Beta-lactams are bactericidal. Beta-lactams have no innate resistance to beta-lactamases (enzymes produced by bacteria to break down beta-lactam antibiotics), but they can be paired with a beta-lacamase inhibitor such as Clavulanic acid. Later generations of beta-lactams may offer resistance to beta-lactamases. Beta-lactams offer activity against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens, including gram-positive, gram-negative, and (in higher doses, such as Cefazolin) anaerobic coverage.
<span>. Amplitude is a measure of the amount of energy in a wave. In a transverse wave, amplitude is the measure from the resting position to either the crest (high point of the wave) or to the trough (low point of the wave.)</span>
