Description

Cefepime hydrochloride monohydrate is used as a broad spectrum antibiotic targeting a wide variety of naturally antibiotic resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is resistant to hydrolysis by common plasmid and/or chromosomally-mediated β-lactamases.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description

• Cefepime hydrochloride is a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works against most antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria

• Cefepime hydrochloride is a penicillin binding protein inhibitor that prevents peptidoglycan cross-linkage and leads to cell wall weakening and lysis

Application

• Cefepime hydrochloride monohydrate can be used for the laboratory study of microbial physiology and antibiotic resistance

• Cefepime has broad-spectrum activity; it is appropriate for research on bacteria responsible for resistant infections and physiological studies
