Which condition is NOT treated with aminopenicillins?

Aminopenicillins, such as amoxicillin and ampicillin, are broad-spectrum antibiotics that are effective against a variety of bacterial infections. Each of the other conditions listed has clear indications for treatment with aminopenicillins.

Streptococcal infections, particularly those caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus), are commonly treated with aminopenicillins because they are highly effective against this type of bacteria. Similarly, otitis media, often caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenzae, can be effectively managed with aminopenicillins due to their activity against these organisms.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) may also be treated with aminopenicillins, especially when caused by susceptible strains of bacteria, although other antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or nitrofurantoin are often preferred.

On the other hand, syphilis, caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, is traditionally treated with penicillin G rather than aminopenicillins. While penicillin G is effective, aminopenicillins are not specifically indicated for treating this infection as they may not
