For those of you who fancy a challenge - the chemicalīs full name is;
(6R-(6-a,7-b(Z))-3-[(Acetyloxy) methyl]-7- [[(2-amino-4-thiazolyl) (methoxyimio)
acetyl] amino]-8- oxo-5-thia-1- azabicyclo [4,2,0] oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid,
Monosodium salt.
Storage
To keep Cefotaxime in optimal condition the chemical should be stoired within a
temperature range of 0C - 8C (32F - 46F). The chemcial should be keep dry
in a sealed container and protected from light.
However the chemical can withstand normal room conditions for short periods of time without noticable deterioration and does therefore not required refigerated shipping conditions.
What is it?
Cefotaxime is a
third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Like other third-generation
cephalosporins, it has broad spectrum activity against Gram positive and Gram
negative bacteria. A positive feature of these drugs is that they display a
resistance to penicillinases.
In most cases, it is considered to be equivalent to ceftriaxone in terms of safety and efficacy. Cefotaxime sodium is marketed under
various the trade names including Claforan.
What does it do?
Cefotaxime is an inhibitor of bacterial cell wall
synthesis.
It inhibits the crosslinking of peptidoglycan by binding and inactivating transpeptidases. Cefotaxime is often used for the elimination of Argobacerium species after
inoculation. It has high resistance against B-lactamase activity.
