Cephalothin(Cat No.:R053346)is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, making it effective against Gram-positive organisms like Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Cephalothin is commonly used in treating respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. It is administered via intravenous or intramuscular injection. This antibiotic is less effective against Gram-negative bacteria compared to second- and third-generation cephalosporins. Due to its side effect profile and potential for resistance, cephalothin is typically used when other treatments are not suitable.
