Applications & Uses
Description
Cefotaxime was synthesized by Hoechst and Roussel-Uclaf in 1977. It was the first derivative of cephalosporin to introduce the methoxyimino and aminothiazole groups at the 7 position of the cephem nucleus. Although it shows unexpectedly low oral absorption, its excellent activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, including Serratia, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, and anaerobes, guided research and development of the newer synthetic cephems, the so-called thirdgeneration cephalosporins.
Uses
Broad spectrum third generation cephalosporin antibiotic. The name Cefotaxime applies to the isomer having a syn-methoxy imino group
Uses
Cephalosporin antibacterial
Uses
Cefotaxime sodium salt acts as a beta-lactamase resistant antibiotic. It is used as an effective antibacterial against gram-negative bacteria, with the notable exception of pseudomonas and penicillin-resistant strains of streptococcus pneumoniae. It is used to treat infections of the bones, joints, skin, respiratory tract and blood stream.
General Description
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards
