As a result, penicillin levels in the bloodstream are enhanced and the antibacterial activity increases a useful tactic if faced with a particularly resistant bacterium Cephalosporins Discovery and structure of cephalosporin C The second major group of (3-lactam antibiotics to be discovered were the cephalosporins.

51 204 Antibacterial agents transferred by means of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) leaving the resistant cell and infecting a non-resistant cell. If the plasmid brought to the infected cell contains the gene required for drug resistance, then the recipient cell will be able to use that information and gain resistance. For example, the genetic information required to synthesize (3-lactamases can be passed on in this way, rendering bacteria resistant to penicillins.
