Cloxacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic of the penicillinase-resistant penicillin class. It is mainly used for the treatment of infections caused by penicillinase-producing staphylococci, particularly skin, respiratory tract, bone, and joint infections. Cloxacillin is approved for clinical use and remains a recommended choice for staphylococcal infections in many guidelines.
