    This document summarizes key differences and therapeutic uses of various penicillins: - Extended-spectrum penicillins like ampicillin are effective against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, but are not active against Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, and some Proteus species. - Ampicillin absorption is reduced by food, while amoxicillin absorption is not affected. Both are stable in gastric acid. - Therapeutic uses include upper respiratory infections caused by streptococci and H. influenzae, urinary tract infections caused by E. coli, and meningitis caused by H. influenzae, streptococci, and N. men
