Flucloxacillin is a narrow-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, especially staphylococcal and streptococcal infections. It is derived from penicillin and beta-lactamase–resistant, designed to withstand certain bacterial enzymes. In clinical contexts it's typically prescribed for skin, soft tissue, and respiratory infections when penicillinase-producing bacteria are suspected.
