| Penicillin G (3 features) | Bactericidal, inhibits cell wall synthesis, against gram positive |
| Ampicillin 3 features | Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, Bactericidal similar to amoxicillin, agaisnt gram + and some gram negative |
| Amoxicillin | Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, bactericidal, agaisnt gram positive and gram negative |
| Gentamicin (3) | Binds to 3s ribosomal unit, bactericidal/bacteriostatic, mostly agaisnt gram negative |

| Cell wall synthesis inhibitors | Beta lactams, glycopeptides, cycloserine and bacitracin |
| Cell membrane inhibitors | Polymyxin, peptides |
| Protein synthesis inhibitors | Aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, macrolides, lincosomides and fusidic acid |
| Nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors | Suphonamides, trimethoprim quinolones and rifampicin |
| MIC | the lowest dose of an antimicrobial agent that is required to inhibit growth |
| Antibacterial/antimicrobial | substance which inhibits the growth of microorganisms or kills them |
| Herpes simplex | infects healthy individuals, causes sores or blisters on face caused by HSV |
| Acidogenic bacteria in oral cavity | Mutans streptococci, lactobacilli |
