Entry term(s) antibióticos penicilínicos
Scope note: Grupo de antibióticos que contienen ácido 6-aminopenicilánico con una cadena lateral unida al grupo 6-amino. El núcleo penicilina es el principal requerimiento estructural para la actividad biológica. La estructura de la cadena lateral determina muchas de las características antibacterianas y farmacológicas. (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1065)
