The pacas ( genus Cuniculus ) are placed by some authorities ( Woods, 1993 ; McKenna and Bell, 1997 ) in the Dasyproctidae, but molecular studies have demonstrated that they do not form a monophyletic group ( Rowe and Honeycutt, 2002 ).

These include, for example, the beta-lactam antibacterials, which include the penicillins ( produced by fungi in the genus Penicillium ), the cephalosporins, and the carbapenems.
