Yes, there are many different types of Antibiotics. Beta-Lactams (which Penicillin is part of) only make up a small percentage of Antibiotics. There are 6 main groups of antibiotics: Beta-Lactams, Quinolones, Sulfonamides, Aminoglycosides, Tetracyclins, and Macrolides. Even within the group Beta-Lactam, there are not that many Penicillin derivatives anymore, due to high resistance in disease.
