Cephamycin
(Redirected from Cephamycins)
Cephamycin is a class of antibiotic.[1] It is a subgroup of cephalosporins.[2]
It is a type of β-lactam antibiotic[1]
Cephamycins were originally produced by Streptomyces, but synthetic ones have been produced as well.
Cephamycins possess a methoxy group at the 7-alpha position.[3]
In addition, cephamycins have been shown to be stable against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing organisms, although their use in clinical practice is lacking for this indication.
Examples
Cephamycins include:
