Cephalothin sodium
Cephalothin sodium is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that exerts bactericidal activity by inactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and leading to cell lysis. It is used in research applications for studying β-lactam mechanisms, bacterial resistance, and evaluating efficacy in both in vitro susceptibility assays and in vivo infection models.
