Cefalotin (INN) or cephalothin (USAN) is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with broad spectrum antibiotic activity.[1][2] It was the first cephalosporin marketed (1964) and continues to be widely used.[3] Cefalotin is used for bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, bones and joints, sepsis, peritonitis, osteomyelitis, mastitis, infected wounds, and post-operational infections.[2]
It is an intravenously administered agent with a similar antimicrobial spectrum to cefazolin and the oral agents cefalexin and cefadroxil. Cefalotin sodium is marketed as Keflin (Lilly) and under other trade names.[4]
The compound is a derivative of thiophene-2-acetic acid.[5]
