What is Ceftiofur sodium?

Ceftiofur sodium is a third bearing cephalosporin antibacterial able adjoin gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Although ceftiofur is aggressive to β-lactamase degradation, there are several strains of E. coli accepted to be artless by this antibiotic. It is acrid in aqueous solution.

Ceftiofur Sodium is the sodium alkali anatomy of ceftiofur, a semisynthetic, beta-lactamase-stable, broad-spectrum, third-generation cephalosporin with antibacterial activity. Ceftiofur binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) amid on the close film of the bacterial corpuscle wall. PBPs are enzymes complex in the terminal stages of accumulating the bacterial corpuscle bank and in about-face the corpuscle bank during advance and division. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains all-important for bacterial corpuscle bank backbone and rigidity. This after-effects in the abrasion of the bacterial corpuscle bank and causes corpuscle lysis.
