• In vitro antibacterial activity of antibiotics and plant essential oils against Escherichia coli MTCC443 supported through the molecular docking and pharmacokinetics study: This study examines the synergistic effects of Cefotaxime sodium with plant essential oils against E. coli, highlighting its potential in developing new antibacterial combinations that enhance drug efficacy and reduce resistance (Jain et al., 2024).


• Efficacy and safety of antibiotics for treatment of leptospirosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis: This comprehensive review assesses the effectiveness of Cefotaxime sodium among other antibiotics in treating leptospirosis, offering critical insights into its clinical utility and safety profile (Ji et al., 2024).


• Changing Landscape of Antimicrobial Resistance in Neonatal Sepsis: An in silico Analyses of Multidrug Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae: The study discusses the rising challenge of antibiotic resistance, emphasizing the role of Cefotaxime sodium in treating complex cases of neonatal sepsis, thus underlining the need for continuous research into its mechanisms and resistance patterns (Vijayakumar et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cefotaxim inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls. As a result, bacteria lyse due to cell wall autolytic enzymes.

Other Notes

Broad spectrum third generation cephalosporin antibiotic.
