Specific codes in ICD-10 are unique alphanumeric designations used to identify and categorize diseases, disorders, and conditions. They consist of 3-5 characters, including both letters and numbers, that provide a high level of detail and specificity.

| Bacterial lysates |
Bacterial lysates are powerful inducers of a specific locoregional immune response that significantly enhance the concentration of antibodies directed to antigenic structures of bacteria most commonly observed during infections of the upper respiratory tract. |
|
| Cefmenoxime |

|
| Piperacillin |
Piperacillin is a broad-spectrum, semisynthetic penicillin. Piperacillin exerts bactericidal activity by inhibition of both septum and cell-wall synthesis. |
|
| Sultamicillin |
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 |
Ticarcillin disrupts bacterial cell wall development by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis and/or by interacting with penicillin-binding proteins. |
