Notes: Aztreonam-d6 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of aztreonam (Item No. 19784) by GC- or LC-MS. Aztreonam is a synthetic β-lactam antibiotic of the monobactam class.{31705} It is active against clinical isolates of E. coli, S. marcescens, P. aeruginosa, Klebsiella species, Proteus species, and Enterobacter species (MICs = S. pneumoniae, B. fragilis, and S. faecalis (MICs = >100 µg/ml for all). It interferes with peptidoglycan synthesis in the bacterial cell wall of the Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, P. vulgaris, E. cloacae, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa by inhibiting penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3; IC100 = 0.1 µg/ml for all). It increases survival in mice with systemic Gram-negative bacterial infections (ED50s = 0.1-24.7 mg/kg). Formulations containing aztreonam have been used in the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis.
