Overview

Ceftazidime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used in microbiological and pharmaceutical research for its strong activity against Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Like other β-lactam antibiotics, it acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through interaction with penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to impaired cell wall integrity and inhibition of bacterial growth under laboratory conditions.

Due to its activity profile and stability, ceftazidime is frequently employed in research models of antimicrobial resistance, β-lactam mechanism studies, and method development for antibiotic potency and susceptibility testing.

Applications

  • Microbiology research focused on Gram-negative bacteria

  • Studies of antimicrobial resistance and β-lactam mechanisms

  • Pharmaceutical R&D involving cephalosporin antibiotics

  • Infection model research (e.g. respiratory, urinary, and soft tissue models)

  • Reference standard use in antibiotic assay development

Mechanism of Action

Ceftazidime inhibits the transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis by binding to PBPs. This disrupts bacterial cell wall construction, resulting in growth inhibition and bacterial cell death in susceptible organisms.
