Abstract

Azthreonam (SQ 26,776) is a synthetic monocyclic beta-lactam antimicrobial agent belonging to the monobactam family (Sykes et al., Nature [London] 291:489-491, 1981), members of which are characterized by having the 2-oxoazetidine-1-sulfonic acid moiety. Azthreonam exhibits a high degree of stability to beta-lactamases and is specifically active against aerobic gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Its activity against these organisms was in general equal or superior to that observed with the third-generation cephalosporins, cefotaxime and ceftazidime. Like penicillins and cephalosporins, azthreonam interacts with essential penicillin-binding proteins of gram-negative bacteria. Azthreonam protected mice against experimental infections produced by a range of gram-negative bacteria, exhibiting efficacy comparable to that of cefotaxime and ceftazidime.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
