General description: | Cefoxitin is a β-lactam that belongs to the group of cephamycin antibiotics and is considered a 2nd generation cephalosporin. It shows resistance to β-lactamases and is used to treat a broad spectrum of bacterial infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, such as bronchitis, pharyngitis, meningitis, and urinary tract infection among others. It is used for intravenous and intramuscular injections. It is found to be active against Bacteroides and is therapeutically used for the treatment of mixed aerobic-anaerobic infections. |
