Cephalosporin




  • The cephalosporins are a class of ß-lactam antibiotics originally derived from the fungus Acremonium, which was previously known as "Cephalosporium".
  • Together with cephamycins they constitute a subgroup of ß-lactam antibiotics called cephems.
  • Cephalosporins are indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by bacteria susceptible to this particular form of antibiotic.
