    Cefamandole Sodium

    Cefamandole sodium is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is soluble in water, methanol, or DMSO.

    TOKU-E offers two forms of cefamandole:

    Mechanism of Action Like β-lactams, cephalosporins interfere with PBP (penicillin binding protein) activity involved in the final phase of peptidoglycan synthesis. PBP’s are enzymes which catalyze a pentaglycine crosslink between alanine and lysine residues providing additional strength to the cell wall. Without a pentaglycine crosslink, the integrity of the cell wall is severely compromised and ultimately leads to cell lysis and death. Resistance to cephalosporins is commonly due to cells containing plasmid encoded β-lactamases.
    Spectrum Cefamandole is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin targeting a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
    Microbiology Applications Cefamandole sodium is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options for infected patients. Representative MIC values include:
    • Escherichia coli 0.08 µg/mL – 100 µg/mL
    • Klebsiella pneumoniae 0.8 µg/mL – 12.5 µg/mL
