Description:

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

Cefoxitin Sodium is a semisynthetic cephamycin antibiotic resistant to beta-lactamase. It is derived from Cephamycin C and is highly resistance to β-lactamase inactivation. Also an antibacterial, cefoxitin sodium acts by adhering to bacterial penicillin-binding proteins, thereby inhibiting cell wall synthesis.
