Cefotaxime sodium salt is a third generation Cephalosporin β-lactamase resistant antibiotic with efficacy in prohibition of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefotaxime sodium salt has demonstrated greater activity than other available first- and second-generation cephalosporins against Enterobacteriaceae. Cefotaxime sodium salt is more active than older cephalosporins against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp., but most strains are still considered resistant. Cefotaxime sodium salt is also active against some gram-negative bacilli that are resistant to aminoglycosides, including amikacin (sc-278692). The activity of Cefotaxime sodium salt is comparable with other cephalosporins against gram-positive cocci, except staphylococci and enterococci, which are resistant. In combination with penicillins or aminoglycosides, Cefotaxime sodium salt may be synergistic against selected gram-negative bacilli.
