[quinolones]
limited use w/ nonfluorinated cmpds (UTIs from enterobacteriaceae); dependent on AUC24/MIC; is get too high conc then become -static
norfloxacin
prototype quinolone for UTIs (enterobacteriaceae, some Pse aer, staph & enterococcus) and uncomplicated gonorrhea

metronidazole
anaerobes; 1st choice for C. diff enterocolitis; combo Tx for H. pylori, Gardnerella vaginosis
[aminoglycoside]
more effective against G- than G+ (G+ requires combo w/ cell wall inhibitor to enhance aminoglycoside permeability-cant run in same IV) ineffective against anaerobes; primarily for G- aerobic bacilli (enterobacteriaceae and pse aer, some staph and strep); use restricted to serious infections d/t toxicity; narrow therapeutic window

[sulfonamides]
