ICD-10 Specific code B65.0: Schistosomiasis due to Schistosoma haematobium [urinary schistosomiasis]

Cefixime is an oral third generation cephalosporin which has marked in vitro bactericidal activity against a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.

Cefprozil belongs to a sub-group of beta-lactam antibiotics, cephalosporins. It is bactericidal and acts by inhibiting synthesis of bacterial cell wall. The bactericidal action of cefprozil results from inhibition of cell-wall synthesis.

Ceftolozane belongs to the cephalosporin class of antimicrobials. Ceftolozane exerts bactericidal activity through binding to important penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), resulting in inhibition of bacterial cell-wall synthesis and subsequent cell death.

Minocycline is a semi-synthetic derivative of tetracycline. Minocycline inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria. In common with other tetracyclines it is primarily bacteriostatic and has a similar spectrum of activity to other tetracyclines.

Praziquantel induces a rapid contraction of schistosomes by a specific effect on the permeability of the cell membrane. The medicine further causes vacuolisation and disintegration of the schistosome tegument.

Sultamicillin is the tosylate salt of the double ester of sulbactam plus ampicillin. Sulbactam is a semisynthetic beta-lactamase inhibitor which, in combination with ampicillin, extends the antibacterial activity of the latter to include some beta-lactamase-producing strains of bacteria that would otherwise be resistant.

Ticarcillin disrupts bacterial cell wall development by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis and/or by interacting with penicillin-binding proteins.
