Cephamycin

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]


Cephamycins are a group of beta-lactam antibiotics, very similar to cephalosporins. Together with cephalosporins, they form a sub-group of antibiotics called cephems. Cephamycins were originally produced by Streptomyces, but synthetic ones have been produced as well.
