Cephem

Cephems are a sub-group of β-lactam antibiotics including cephalosporins and cephamycins.^[1] It is one of the most common 4-membered ring heterocycle.^[2] Produced by actinomycetes, cephamycins were found to display antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacteria, including those resistant to penicillin and cephalosporins.^[3] The antimicrobial properties of Cephem include the attachment to certain penicillin-binding proteins that are involved in the production of cell walls of bacteria.^[4]
