Ceftazidime Powder — Third‑Generation Cephalosporin 
CAT: ASA‑2028
 
Overview
Ceftazidime Powder (CAT: ASA‑2028, CAS: 72558‑82‑8) is a third‑generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely studied for its activity against a broad spectrum of Gram‑negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It functions by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, making it a valuable compound in microbiological and pharmaceutical research.
With low resistance rates and proven efficacy against multidrug‑resistant organisms, Ceftazidime remains a critical tool for investigating antimicrobial mechanisms, resistance pathways, and therapeutic development. Its ability to penetrate tissues and achieve high concentrations in urinary tracts and respiratory secretions enhances its relevance in laboratory studies of infection models.
