A second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, leading to bacterial cell death. It is effective against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and is used for respiratory, skin, and urinary tract infections. As with other cephalosporins, it should be used with caution in patients with penicillin allergy due to possible cross-reactivity.

Mécanisme d'action

Disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis. The resulting cell wall defects cause osmotic instability and bacteriolysis.
