Cefotaxime Sodium
The sodium salt formulation of cefotaxime is the standard parenteral preparation used in hospitals for serious and life-threatening infections including bacterial meningitis and gram-negative sepsis. Its broad spectrum and CNS penetration make it a first-line option in many clinical guidelines. Dose adjustment is required in severe renal impairment.

作用机制
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.
