Cefoxitin(Cat No.:R022922)is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many strains resistant to other antibiotics. Cefoxitin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. It is commonly used in the treatment of infections such as respiratory, urinary tract, and intra-abdominal infections, as well as in surgical prophylaxis. Cefoxitin’s broad spectrum and stability against β-lactamases make it a valuable therapeutic agent in clinical settings.
