A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against gram-negative bacteria and many gram-positive organisms, widely used for meningitis, sepsis, and serious respiratory and urinary tract infections. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier effectively, making it valuable in central nervous system infections. It is metabolized to desacetylcefotaxime, which retains some antibacterial activity.

क्रिया का तंत्र

Disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis. The resulting cell wall defects cause osmotic instability and bacteriolysis.
