List of β-lactam antibiotics

Short description: Wikipedia list article

This is a list of common β-lactam antibiotics--both administered drugs and those not in clinical use--organized by structural class. Antibiotics are listed alphabetically within their class or subclass by their nonproprietary name. If an antibiotic is a combination drug, both ingredients will be listed.
