Biochem/physiol Actions
Cefotetan (cefotan) is a second-generation cephalosporin that is active against some strains of β-lactamase producing bacteria. It shows anti-microbial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; it is more efficacious against Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria. Cefotetan binds to penicillin-binding proteins and disrupts the cell wall synthesis.
Cefotetan has good protein binding capacity due to its half-life of 3 to 4 hours. The presence of methylthiotetrazole (MTT) side chain helps to enhance its potential for hypoprothrombinemia and disulfiram reactions. It possesses high antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacilli than cefoxitin.

This study examined infectious outcomes in elective colorectal cancer surgery between cefotetan alone or conventional triple antibiotics. From January to December 2007, 461 consecutive primary colorectal cancer patients underwent elective surgery. Group A contained 225 patients who received conventional triple

The costs of treating surgical site infections can be considerable. There is a cost associated with the prophylactic use of antibiotics; however, the use of prophylactic agents may reduce infection rates and lengths of stay, thus offsetting the overall treatment
