1 PRODUCT INFORMATION KEFLIN ® CEFALOTIN SODIUM FOR INJECTION NEUTRAL DESCRIPTION KEFLIN (cefalotin sodium), Neutral, is a semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic for parenteral use. It is the sodium salt of 7-(thiophene-2-acetamido) cephalosporanic acid. Sodium bicarbonate has been added to result in reconstituted solutions having a pH ranging between 6 and 8.5. The total sodium content is approximately 63 mg (2.8 mEq. sodium ion) per g of KEFLIN Neutral. MICROBIOLOGY/PHARMACOLOGY Microbiology - The in-vitro bactericidal action of cefalotin results from inhibition of cell-wall synthesis. In general, cefalotin has higher activity against Gram positive than Gram negative organisms, the latter varying greatly in their sensitivity to the drug. The range of antibiotic concentrations at which bacteria are inhibited may vary substantially according to the isolate, therefore susceptibility testing is highly desirable. KEFLIN is usually active against the following organisms in-vitro: Beta-haemolytic and other streptococci (most strains of enterococci, e.g. _Streptococcus faecalis _are resistant). Staphylococci, including coagulase-positive, coagulase-negative, and penicillinase-producing strains. Methicillin-resistant staphylococci are resistant. _Streptococcus pneumoniae_ _ Haemophilus _ _influenzae_ _ Escherichia _ _coli_ _ Klebsiella_ _ Proteus _ _mirabilis_ NOTE: _Pseudomonas _organisms are resistant to KEFLIN, as are most indole- producing _Proteus _species and motile _Enterobacter _species. Susceptibility Plate Tests - If the Bauer-Kirby-Sherris-Turck method of disc susceptibility testing is used, a disc containing 30 mcg cefalotin should give a zone of over 17 mm when tested against a cefalotin-susceptible bacterial strain, and a zone of over 14 mm with an organism of intermediate susceptibility. 2 Human Pharmacology - KEFLIN is not absorbed significa Baca dokumen lengkapnya
