Cefixime（Cat No.:A000076）is a third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and gonorrhea, cefixime is valued for its convenient once-daily dosing and high efficacy. Its stability against certain beta-lactamases enhances its effectiveness in combating resistant strains, making it a reliable choice in outpatient and clinical settings for managing common bacterial infections.
