Cephalosporin C is a β-lactam antibiotic primarily effective against Gram-positive and select Gram-negative bacteria. It exhibits stability to penicillinase, thereby enhancing its antimicrobial efficacy. The hydrolysis of Cephalosporin C allows for the production of 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), a crucial precursor for the synthesis of semi-synthetic cephalosporins. This compound is widely utilized in the development of new antibacterial agents and in the study of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
