Cefotaxime Sodium

Cefotaxime is a beta-lactam type inhibitor of bacterial cell wall synthesis. The antibiotic inhibits the crosslinking of peptidoglycan by binding and inactivating of transpeptidases. Cefotaxime Sodium has high antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacteria. By its molecular structure, Cefotaxime Sodium is a sodium salt, and is well protected against inactivation by beta-lactamase. Cefotaxime Sodium is often used in the treatment of severe infections, for the elimination of Agro-bacterium species after inoculation, and the growth inhibition of various bacteria, including Pectobacterium carotovorum. Cefotaxime powder is non-toxic to plant cells. Store dry at 2-8 °C. Keep container tightly closed and protect from light. Soluble in water.
