aztreonam

Aztreonam is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It works by targeting and disrupting the bacteria’s cell wall, which is essential for their survival. This action helps eliminate the bacteria from the body. Aztreonam is especially effective against certain types of bacteria called gram-negative bacteria, including some strains that are resistant to other antibiotics. It is usually administered by injection and is often used in hospitals for infections such as pneumonia or urinary tract infections. Since it specifically targets bacteria, it does not harm human cells, making it a selective and effective treatment option when needed.
