Broad\u2010spectrum beta\u2010lactam antibiotics chemically related to and having the same mechanism of action as the penicillins, disrupting the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls.<\/p>\n
Any of a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics derived from the fungus Cephalosporium.<\/p>\n
A drug used in the treatment of bacterial infection.<\/p>\n
Antibiotics developed from a Cephalosporium species found in Sardinia. One-Cephalosporin N-is a penicillin; Cephalosporin P resembles fusidic acid; and Cephalosporin C, is an antibiotic of moderate activity coupled with high resistance to staphylococcal penicillinase and the ability to inhibit the action of this enzyme on benzylpenicillin. From this nucleus (7-aminocephalosporanic acid) were developed the semisynthetic bactericidal antibiotics Cephalothin, Cephaloridine, and Cephalexin.<\/p>\n
Any of a group of broad- spectrum antibiotics obtained from microorganisms (including fungi of the genus Cephalosporium) and used for treating infections caused by a wide variety of bacterial agents.<\/p>\n
A class of antibiotic drugs used to treat infections caused by bacteria. Cephalosporins work by damaging the cell walls of some bacteria and killing them. Cephalosporins are used to treat urinary tract infections, tonsillitis, celulitis, and respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia. Cephalosporins will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.<\/p>\n
Any one of a group of semisynthetic antibiotics, derived from the mold Cephalosporium, which are effective against a wide range of microorganisms and are therefore used in a variety of infections. Cross-sensitivity with penicillin may occur and the principal side-effects are allergic reactions and irritation of the digestive tract.<\/p>\n
These are broad-spectrum antibiotics. Most are semi-synthetic derivatives of cephalosporin C, an antibiotic originally derived from a sewage outfall in Sardinia.<\/p>\n
General term for a group of antibiotic derivatives of cephalosporin C, which is obtained from the fungus Cephalosporium.<\/p>\n
