Azidocillin(CAT: M082979) is a β-lactam antibiotic belonging to the penicillin family. It features an azido group (-N₃) attached to its core structure, which enhances its antimicrobial activity. Like other penicillins, azidocillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, specifically targeting the transpeptidase enzyme involved in cross-linking peptidoglycan chains. This leads to cell wall destabilization and ultimately bacterial cell death. Azidocillin is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative strains. It is used in treating various bacterial infections, though its usage may be limited compared to more commonly prescribed antibiotics due to the development of resistance.
