Cephradine
A first-generation cephalosporin available in both oral and parenteral formulations, used for mild to moderate respiratory, skin, and urinary tract infections caused by gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. It was notable for being one of the few early cephalosporins available in both formulation types. Its clinical use has largely declined in favor of more modern antibiotics.

Mecanismo de Ação
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.
