Cefmetazole is a cephamycin antibiotic, usually grouped with the second-generation cephalosporins.

Adverse effects

The chemical structure of cefmetazole, like that of several other cephalosporins, contains an N-methylthiotetrazole (NMTT or 1-MTT) side chain. As the antibiotic is broken down in the body, it releases free NMTT, which can cause hypoprothrombinemia (likely due to inhibition of the enzyme vitamin K epoxide reductase) and a reaction with ethanol similar to that produced by disulfiram, due to inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase.[1]

Spectrum of bacterial susceptibility

Cefmetazole is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antimicrobial and has been effective in treating bacteria responsible for causing urinary tract and skin infections. The following represents MIC susceptibility data for a few medically significant microorganisms.

Bacteroides fragilis: 0.06 - >256 µg/ml
Clostridium difficile: 8 - >128 µg/ml
Staphylococcus aureus: 0.5 - 256 µg/ml (includes MRSA)

gollark: ... *fine*.

gollark: Again, *post the code and screenshots*.

gollark: That is still not very helpful.

gollark: Still too vague and you haven't posted the actual code or error messages.

gollark: It might be unfathomable dark magic. I can't tell you *much* if you just provide vague descriptions of what happens.
