Ceftazidime impedes bacterial growth by binding to the IL-2 receptor, an enzyme for protein synthesis. Ceftazidime has demonstrated effectiveness against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria in in vitro studies. It exhibits activity against relevant Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. In the realm of environmental science, ceftazidime can be used as a reference material for the development of analytical methods aimed at detecting and quantifying similar compounds in environmental samples. This is important for monitoring pollutants and understanding their distribution, degradation, and impact on ecosystems.
