Used to treat infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive bacteria, particularly beta-lactamase-producing organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus that would otherwise be resistant to most penicillins.
Meticillin (INN, BAN) or methicillin (USAN) is a narrow spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic of the penicillin class. It is no longer clinically used. Its role in therapy has been largely replaced by flucloxacillin and dicloxacillin, however the term methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to be used to describe Staphylococcus aureus strains resistant to all penicillins.

The serum half-life of methicillin in adults with normal renal function is 0.4-0.5 hours.

Serum concn of methicillin may be higher and the serum half-life prolonged in patients with impaired renal function. The serum half-life of the drug reportedly averages 4-6 hr in anuric patients.

In one study in children 2-16 yr of age, the serum half-life of methicillin averaged 0.8 hr after IV administration and 1.6 hr after IM administration. Serum concn of methicillin are generally higher and the serum half-life is longer in neonates than in older children. The serum half-life of the drug is generally inversely proportional to birthweight, gestational age, and chronologic age. The serum half-life of methicillin reportedly ranges from 2-3.9 hr in low birthweight neonates 2 wk of age or younger and ranges from 0.9-3.3 hr in low birthweight neonates older than 2 wk of age or neonates weighing 2 kg or more who are 6.5 wk of age or younger.

Similar to other beta-lactam antimicrobials, meticillin blocks synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Meticillin stops cross-linkage between the peptidoglycan polymer chains, which make up a large portion of gram-positive bacterial cell walls. It does this by binding to and competitively inhibiting the transpeptidase enzyme used by bacteria to cross-link the peptide (D-alanyl-alanine) used in peptidogylcan synthesis.
The penicillins and their metabolites are potent immunogens because of their ability to combine with proteins and act as haptens for acute antibody-mediated reactions. The most frequent (about 95 percent) or "major" determinant of penicillin allergy is the penicilloyl determinant produced by opening the beta-lactam ring of the penicillin. This allows linkage of the penicillin to protein at the amide group. "Minor" determinants (less frequent) are the other metabolites formed, including native penicillin and penicilloic acids. /Penicillins/

Bactericidal; inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis. Action is dependent on the ability of penicillins to reach and bind penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Penicillin-binding proteins (which include transpeptidases, carboxypeptidases, and endopeptidases) are enzymes that are involved in the terminal stages of assembling the bacterial cell wall and in reshaping the cell wall during growth and division. Penicillins bind to, and inactivate, penicillin-binding proteins, resulting in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and lysis. /Penicillins/
