General description

Cefepime is a semi-synthetic fourth-generation cephalosporin. It is resistant to hydrolysis by common plasmid and/or chromosomally-mediated β-lactamases.

Application

Cefepime was used in antimicrobial susceptibility testing for Acinetobacter baumannii and extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolated from various samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cefepime is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin with activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins and disrupts the cell wall synthesis.
