dirty medicine: "alright gonna show you my super cool mnemonic for cephalosporin generation sorting" me, on my 22nd hour awake: "okay baby, show me your mnemonic"
hi just a suggestion , for the fifth generation instead of learning all the foot symbols and universities , just say CefSTARoline , star has 5 sides ( the usual ones :) )
Would love to see a general video on antibiotics and their mechanisms of action! Like mnemonic to help remember macrolides bind 50S, aminoglycosides bind 30S, fluoroquinolones bind DNA gyrase, etc. Can't remember them for the life of me. LOVING these pharm videos!!
For the 2nd Gen Cephs, I've personally found the process of elimination method to be inadequate. "Fox Fur For Pro Tan-ning" is a good mnemonic to remember the big five: ceFOXitin, ceFURoxime, ceFaclOR, cefPROzil, cefoteTAN. Kinda dumb but it's proven reliable.
You are a LEGEND, dirty! Really appreciate for all these great videos. Just one request, is it possible to make one video about Mechanism & Classification of Antibiotic? Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
Hey all your efforts are highly appreciated I’m really thankful for all your videos...really great work!! Just one request Can you please upload your ethics video the one that was removed ?? Exam in 10 days, I really need it!
Cool trick for 1st Generation is that all Cephalosporins starting with CefA belong to 1st like the 1st letter of the Alphabet, only exception is Cefaclor that is 2nd Gen.
For 2nd gen, if you want a pneumonic :) : I remember Cefuroxime by replacing "uro" with "duo" ("cefDUOxime"). Duo means two. I remember Cefoxitin by remembering that an OX has TWO horns. Love your videos btw!
Thank you so much!!!! Please do a video on Hep B serologic markers and also Bacterial and Viral genetics if it’s high in demand 🙏🏻😊 Appreciate all your help.
jan : its not just a pattern of disrespect, its also inappropriate behaviour michael : DISSREE - my friend DISSRE got new SPECS - DISRESPECT , my friend INAPPRO drives a PRIUS jan: does that work for you? michael : yes.
Love the mnemonics but I think you should at least list the second generations since it’s actually not accurate to say that all cephs not mentioned here fall under 2nd gen. What about cefpodoxime? Oral third gen that’s not uncommon. A disclaimer that acknowledges this is not an all-inclusive list would be helpful. Also, cefepime is not the only cephalosporin with pseudomonas coverage. Ceftaz too.
Obviously outdated at the time I'm writing this due to new drugs on the market but even when published you left out several drugs. You say to assign anything not mentioned to the 2nd generation but what about cefdinir, cefditoren, cefixime, cefpodoxime, and ceftibuten which are 3rd generation. I would hate for students to confuse this as a complete list.

me, on my 22nd hour awake: "okay baby, show me your mnemonic"
Also, you can memorize 5 gen as ⭐️ sTar - 5 pointed sTar.
This is much much better !!!!!!!
"The second generation is just a cluster-f*ck of different cephalosporins." THIS SHOULD BE IN EVERY MEDICAL TEXT!
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for being a Dirty Medicine member!
hi just a suggestion , for the fifth generation instead of learning all the foot symbols and universities , just say CefSTARoline , star has 5 sides ( the usual ones :) )
this works too, I guess. I'm just a huge sports fan and it's easier for me to remember the Tarheel logo :)
stars have 5 vertices, not sides
@@Sammy.a1287 you only need to get the point.
@@Sammy.a12875 pointed star, thats what they mean

Macro means big, and 50S is bigger than 30S. Amino-glyco-side has 3 parts so 3 >>> 30S, abcdefg --> DFG --> DNA ,Flouroquinolone, Gyrase
@@Supernova-217thanks for this!
Defo need this before 2026 pls @dirtymedicine
BEST Cephalosporin video EVER. You saved me hours of headache, thanks man!!

Pros Wear Fake Fox Fur for Tea party
cefPROzil CeFAClor CeFOXitin CeFURoxime CefoTEAtan
Hi, helpful 4 years later. Yeah I mean memorizing drugs is brutal, so anything and everything that may help is appreciated! Haha
Omg love you!! You are GOD!! Classification of cephalosporin is crazy!! you've made it damn easy
One comment - ceftazidime also has pseudomonas coverage! I remember it by cefTAZ for pseudomoNAZ
Ceftazidime also covers pseudomonas
i agree
You are a LEGEND, dirty! Really appreciate for all these great videos. Just one request, is it possible to make one video about Mechanism & Classification of Antibiotic? Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
3rd generation - tri-POD includes cefPODoxime as well! :)
🤩
And Cefdinir is a 3rd generation
Gen 1: ALEX the First chicken wears a FEZ and PEcKS - cephALEXin - ceFEZazolin - Proteus, E.Coli, Klebsiella, Staph aureus (pre-surgical)
For "cefdinir" I think of: dinner is the 3rd meal of the day. Also could relate to "diner" I suppose lol
good one!
Cef-ixime , one of the most commonly used oral cephalosporin 🌝
Hats off for your efforts, love you man
Love it!! Especially "a cluster f!@# of different cephalosporins"...thank you :)
Nice explanation on cephalosporins. Thanks
You are god sent !!! 👍😊🙏
Thank you very much. Your videos really help. 👍
Pure genius, thank you.
Hey all your efforts are highly appreciated
I’m really thankful for all your videos...really great work!!
Just one request
Can you please upload your ethics video the one that was removed ??
Exam in 10 days, I really need it!
Amazing explanation and mnemonic...
Thanks for another great video! I think it's absolutely ridiculous that we have to memorize pharm in the age of instant access to info.
Cool trick for 1st Generation is that all Cephalosporins starting with CefA belong to 1st like the 1st letter of the Alphabet, only exception is Cefaclor that is 2nd Gen.
Another great video, thank you!!!
ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS EVER ***
oh my god you made cephs so much easy
Amazing work as always!
Your are a superman, thanks for this!!!
For hardstyle fans:
Cef-Triax-ime & Cefix (Sephyx)-ime are 3rd generation cephalosporins
Just asking, does ceftazidime not provide pseudomonas coverage too?
It does.
It gives pneumococcus coverage
For 2nd gen, if you want a pneumonic :) :
I remember Cefuroxime by replacing "uro" with "duo" ("cefDUOxime"). Duo means two.
I remember Cefoxitin by remembering that an OX has TWO horns.
Love your videos btw!
Your so adorable like seriously with all the pnemonics ... crushing it 👍🏻
Pseu-do-mo-nas hahahaha so adourable
super explanation, very helpful
But Ceftazidime does work against Pseudomonas? Great video
Yep
I literally giggle thanks for your vid
Glad you enjoyed
Great video
Ingenious!
awesome bro .....
The way I've memorized Cefepime:
Pime is like Prime > 4 day shipping with prime.
Ceftriaxone covers pseudomonas as well
Textbook says ceftriaxone doesnt cover pseudomonas
Check it out on medscape and Clinical pharmacology 5th edition by James Butler
@@wernernalule1783 yeah, lippincott suggests like wise too.
Cool .. thanks ..
You are amazingly awesome 👏🏼💜
For 5th generation we can think tar on your feet from the beach still using the five toes. There are good images for this to show toes foot and tar.
Thank you so much!!!!
Please do a video on Hep B serologic markers and also Bacterial and Viral genetics if it’s high in demand 🙏🏻😊
Appreciate all your help.
Great video!
Really cool video clear and straightforward, but I recall that the first generation has more than 2 drugs, but at least now I know those 2 drugs
Tyty I have had sooooooo much trouble with this!
The first one is really fun to ask in a British accent
No words just thankyouuu😊
drugs that have cef- prefix and 't' in them are 3rd gens cephalosporin drugs like cef-t-azidime, cef-t-riaxone, cefo-t-axime
"It's a small rodent thing found in Australia" HAHA
Please dirty could you also make videos of other antibiotics like aminoglycosides, penicillins and the likes
The more i watch dirty's video, the more i learn about America lol
Any chance we will get an HIV tx video?
❤ wow
For Third generation, cefdinir: I remembered it as “dinner is the third meal.”
🎉
jan : its not just a pattern of disrespect, its also inappropriate behaviour
michael : DISSREE - my friend DISSRE got new SPECS - DISRESPECT , my friend INAPPRO drives a PRIUS
jan: does that work for you?
michael : yes.
sir plz make a video on Antidepressants plz ,
you could also say "TAR-sals" and you have 5 toes..
For second gen
This is kinda inapproritate
FAC him in FOX FUR for FORTE 2 bucks
So cefaclor cefoxitin cefuroxitime cofotetan and 2 means 2nd lol
Taz does triple taxes
But better mnemonic i feel
cluster fuck was personal lmao
I came up with my own stupid dirty mnemonic for the second gen drugs “I FOT FOX, FAM said FAC(fu*k) FUR”
MORE MORE MOOOREE🤪🤓
LET’S GO HEELS!!!
i tried to tweet you, but it says the acct no longer exists? ive also emailed you haha!
hey jayna. I'm not on Twitter any more.. it felt pretty useless to me. I read every email I get, so if you emailed me I definitely already read it
It causes vitamin k deficiency?! 😭 never knew this (and so much more)
In Tazmania they play 3 day cricket matches!
Imma make sure my man dirty here gets a fat cut from my first stipend
CephALEXin... Alex came in first. CeftAROLINE...Caroline came in last (fifth).
Face reveal! hahah. Thank you as always.
U g0t the first like fr0m me 😁😁
Need parasitology pharm please.

This is strictly for USMLE/COMLEX
I love you but you repeat yourself so much that you make the video 5x than it has to be...
this repetition is the thing that helps us with memorization
klk hi
I just found out that there's is a 6th generation guys
