Overview:

Maxipime
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin, is used to treat severe upper and lower respiratory tract infections, skin infections, otitis media, and surgical prophylaxis. For the treatment of the following infections (respiratory, skin, soft tissue, urinary tract infections, ear, nose, throat infectsion) caused by; S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, staphylococci, S. pyogenes (group A ß-hemolytic streptococci), E. coli, P. mirabilis, Klebsiella sp, coagulase-negative staph. Also used to treat acute bacterial bronchitis in patients with COPD

Mechanism Of Action:
Cefuroxime, like the penicillins, is a beta-lactam antibiotic. By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, it inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that cefuroxime interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.
