Preferred Name | aztreonam | |
Synonyms |
SQ 26,776 Azactam |
|
Definitions |
A monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic originally isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum with bactericidal activity. Aztreonam preferentially binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding protein-3 (PBP-3), which is involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby inhibiting bacterial cell wall integrity and leading to cell lysis and death. This agent differs from other beta-lactam antibiotics because it is resistant to beta-lactamase hydrolysis, and it is usually used to treat infections caused by gram-negative aerobic microorganisms. Check for "https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C28845" active clinical trials using this agent.
