Description

General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Cefotaxime sodium salt has been used as an test antibiotic in antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods.[1] It has also been used as an antibiotic to remove bacteria from O. tauri cultures.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cefotaxim inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls. As a result, bacteria lyse due to cell wall autolytic enzymes.

Cefotaxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, is active against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.[3] In addition, cefotaxime blocks the division of cyanobacteria. It also has an ability to inhibit the cell division of lower plant organelles/plastids such as the photosynthetic organelles of glaucophytes and chloroplasts of bryophytes.[4]

Other Notes

Broad spectrum third generation cephalosporin antibiotic.
