Cephalothin sodium, a semi-synthetic antibiotic, is derived from cephamycin C, which originates from the bacterial species Cephalosporium acremonium. Its efficacy extends to both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as anaerobic bacteria. The mechanism of action for cephalothin sodium revolves around inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It accomplishes this by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located within the bacterial cell wall, thereby impeding the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains.
