MedKoo Cat#: 461650 | Name: Flomoxef

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Flomoxef, also known as S 6315, is an oxacephem antibiotic. Flomoxef showed excellent in vitro activity against clinically important gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens causing community- and hospital-associated infections. he MICs of flomoxef at which 90% of clinical isolates were inhibited was >128 microg/mL in 26 isolates of Mycobacterium abscessus and 4 microg/mL in 31 isolates of M. fortuitum. Three out of 4 clinical M. peregrinum isolates were inhibited by flomoxef at concentrations of 4 microg/mL or less.
