Cefepime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth. . Cefepime inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the 50S ribosome subunit.
This antibiotic is effective against some multi-drug resistant pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.
Cefepime shows good resistance to the cumuloluminescence method such as LECL with luminol . This antibiotic reacts with luminol in a 1:1 ratio and produces light with a wavelength of 480 nanometers. This property has made cefepime an effective tool in water purification.
