Background
A description of the experience
Piperacillin is a broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic of the ureidopenicillin class. The chemical structure of piperacillin and other ureidopenicillins incorporates a polar side chain that enhances penetration into Gram-(-) bacteria and reduces susceptibility to cleavage by Gram-(-) beta lactamase enzymes. These properties confer activity against the important hospital pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Thus piperacillin is sometimes referred to as an "anti-pseudomonal penicillin".
When used alone, piperacillin lacks strong activity against the Gram positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, as the beta-lactam ring is broken by the bacteria's beta-lactamase
