Methicillin Sodium Salt（Cat No.:I001253）is a beta-lactam antibiotic within the penicillin class, originally developed to treat infections caused by penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. By inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, it effectively targets Gram-positive bacteria, leading to cell lysis and death. Although methicillin has largely been replaced by newer antibiotics due to resistance concerns (notably MRSA), it remains an essential reference standard in laboratory settings for identifying methicillin-resistant strains. Methicillin Sodium Salt is crucial for microbiological testing, guiding research on antibiotic resistance and informing effective treatment approaches.
