Broad-spectrum antibiotics (e.g., penicillins, aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, sulfonamides) work against a wide range of bacterial infections. Narrow-spectrum antibiotics (e.g., macrolides, vancomycin, fidaxomicin) are only effective against a few types of pathogenic bacteria.

In some cases, antibiotics will be prescribed such as Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate), Zithromax (azithromycin), Levaquin (levofloxacin), Bactrim or Septra (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole), and Amoxil (amoxicillin).
