Aztreonam

Descriptions
Aztreonam (Azactam®) is a monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic (a monobactam) originally isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum. It is resistant to some beta-lactamases, but is inactivated by extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. Aztreonam is effective against gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is not effective against gram-positive bacteria or anaerobes. Aztreonam has to be administered intravenously, as the compound is poorly absorbed when given orally. Side-effects include reactions at the injection site, diarrhea and other gastro-intestinal symptoms. There is limited cross-reactivity between aztreonam and other beta-lactam antibiotics, and it is generally considered safe to admininister aztreonam to patients allergic to penicillin.
