TOKU-E™ Cefotaxime ReadyMade™ Solution
Description
- CAS Number: 64485-93-4
- Molecular Formula: C16H16N5NaO7S2
- Molecular Weight: 447.45 g/mo
- Storage Conditions: -20°C
- Form: Liquid
- Source: Semi-synthetic (Acremonium sp.)
- Spectrum: Cefotaxime Sodium has broad-spectrum activity against a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. However, unlike many cephalosporin antibiotics, Cefotaxime Sodium is not effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Mechanism of Action: Like β-lactams, cephalosporins interfere with PBP (penicillin binding protein) activity involved in the final phase of peptidoglycan synthesis. PBPs are enzymes which catalyze a pentaglycine crosslink between alanine and lysine residues providing additional strength to the cell wall. Without a pentaglycine crosslink, the integrity of the cell wall is severely compromised and ultimately leads to cell lysis and death. Resistance to cephalosporins is commonly due to cells containing plasmid encoded β-lactamases. Cefotaxime Sodium however, is largely resistant to β-lactamases
