Methicillin is a narrow-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic, acts by inhibiting penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Methicillin is active against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis that are resistant to other penicillins.Methicillin can be used for the research of skin infections, osteomyelitis, and endocarditis[1].
