Description

General description

Chemical structure: β-lactam

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cefotaxim inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls. As a result, bacteria lyse due to cell wall autolytic enzymes.

Mode of Action: Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis.

Other Notes

Broad spectrum third generation cephalosporin antibiotic.
