Oxacillin Sodium
Definition 1
The sodium salt form of oxacillin, a semisynthetic penicillinase-resistant and acid-stable penicillin with an antimicrobial activity. Oxacillin binds to penicillin-binding proteins in the bacterial cell wall, thereby blocking the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a critical component of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to inhibition of cell growth and causes cell lysis. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
An antibiotic similar to flucloxacillin used in resistant staphylococci infections. (NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
