Featured Products
Cefotetan is a semisynthetic cephamycin antibiotic that binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis, interfering with the cross-linking of bacterial peptidoglycan, thereby inhibiting cell wall synthesis and exerting bactericidal activity. This compound is commonly used in microbiology and pharmacology research to study the antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance mechanisms, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of Gram-negative bacilli and facultative anaerobes, and can also serve as a model compound for laboratory analysis of strain resistance mechanisms.
