These compounds are usually synthesized by treating the precursor 6-APA with acid chlorides, and John Sheehan pioneered the synthesis of these compounds.

These compounds are usually synthesized by treating the precursor 6-APA with acid chlorides, and John Sheehan pioneered the synthesis of these compounds. These compounds have a four member ring consisting of three carbon and one nitrogen atom, and that ring can be hydrolyzed by beta-lactamase enzymes. Cells of the species Pseudomonas aeruginosa are particularly resistant to most variants of these compounds, and these compounds inhibit the function of transpeptidase enzymes, which subsequently inhibits the cross linking that occurs in bacterial cell walls. For 10 points, name these antibiotics discovered by Alexander Fleming, which are derived from a mold.
