As a second-generation cephamycin antibiotic, Cefoxitin Sodium inhibits bacterial cell wall biosynthesis to kill pathogens.
It is highly active against anaerobic bacteria (e.g., Bacteroides fragilis) and Gram-negative bacteria, and resistant to β-lactamase hydrolysis, distinguishing it from other cephalosporins.
