Addition of side chains produced semisynthetic broad spectrum antibiotics with greater antibacterial activity than that of cephalosporin C; the antibiotic activity is due to interference with bacterial cell-wall synthesis.ceph·a·lo·spo·rin C (sefă-lō-spōrin) Antibiotic effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. |
