Overview

Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate is a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used in microbiological and pharmaceutical research for its broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is particularly valued for its activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii in laboratory studies.

Like other β-lactam antibiotics, cefepime exerts its antibacterial effect by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, making it a valuable reference compound in studies of antimicrobial mechanisms, resistance pathways, and susceptibility testing.

Applications

  • Microbiological research and method development

  • Studies of β-lactam antibiotics and resistance mechanisms

  • Antimicrobial susceptibility and potency testing

  • Reference antibiotic for Gram-negative bacterial research

Mechanism of Action

Cefepime binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) involved in the final stages of peptidoglycan synthesis. By inhibiting these enzymes, cefepime disrupts bacterial cell wall formation, leading to weakening of the cell wall and inhibition of bacterial growth or cell death in susceptible organisms.
