Overview

Cefixime Trihydrate is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used in microbiological and pharmaceutical research. It exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it a useful reference compound in laboratory studies of antimicrobial activity and resistance.

As a β-lactam antibiotic, cefixime is commonly employed in research focused on cell wall synthesis inhibition, susceptibility testing, and comparative studies of cephalosporin antibiotics.

Applications

  • Microbiological research and method development

  • Studies of β-lactam antibiotics and resistance mechanisms

  • Antimicrobial susceptibility and potency testing

  • Reference compound in bacterial growth inhibition studies

Mechanism of Action

Cefixime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) involved in the final stages of peptidoglycan formation. This prevents proper assembly of the bacterial cell wall, resulting in weakened cell structure and inhibition of bacterial growth or cell death in susceptible organisms.
