Pivmecillinam is a β-lactam antibiotic and a pivaloyl-containing pro-drug. It belongs to the class of amidinopenicillin. Pivmecillinam is an oral anti-microbial agent that can be considered for treating E. coli urinary tract infection (UTI).
Pivmecillinam is a gram negative antibiotic, and inhibitor of penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2). Pivmecillinam has been shown to have synergistic effects with several antibiotics including novobiocin and rifampin in gram negative bacteria.
