Ceftazidime is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactam antibiotic, used especially for Pseudomonas and other gram-negative infections in debilitated patients. Ceftazidime is used to treat lower respiratory tract, skin, urinary tract, blood-stream, joint, and abdominal infections, and meningitis. The drug is given intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM) every 8–12 hours (two or three times a day), with dose and frequency varying by the type of infection, severity, and/or renal function of the patient. Injectable formulations of ceftazidime are currently nebulized "off-label" to manage Cystic Fibrosis, non-Cystic Fibrosis bronchiectasis, drug-resistant nontuberculous mycobacterial infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and post-transplant airway infections. Ceftazidime is generally well-tolerated. When side effects do occur, they are most commonly local effects from the intravenous line site, allergic reactions, and gastrointestinal symptoms. According to one manufacturer, in clinical trials, allergic reactions including itching, rash, and fever, happened in fewer than 2% of patients. Rare but more serious allergic reactions, such as toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and erythema multiforme, have been reported with this class of antibiotics, including ceftazidime. Gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, were reported in fewer than 2% of patients.

Pyridine is a basic heterocyclic organic compound used as a solvent in organic synthesis. Since the pyridine ring has three double bonds, six p-electrons exist, which are sufficient for aromatic ring formation without involving the lone pair electrons of the nitrogen atom. Since the lone pair electrons remain free, quaternary salts retain the aromaticity. However, the nitrogen atom has a higher electronegativity than the carbon atoms and shows an electron-withdrawing effect. In oxidation and reduction reactions, the pyridine ring exhibits properties characteristic of pelectron-deficient aromatic rings: resistance to oxidation and facile reduction. Pyridine bases are a constituent of tars. They were isolated from coal tar or coal gas before synthetic manufacturing processes became established. Pyridine is an excellent solvent, especially for dehydrochlorination reactions and extraction of antibiotics. Large amounts of pyridine are used as starting material for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals: for example, herbicides such as diquat and paraquat, insecticides such as chlorpyrifos, and fungicides such as pyrithione. Pyridine is harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Effects of acute pyridine intoxication include dizziness, headache, lack of coordination, nausea, salivation, and loss of appetite.
