Biochem/Physiol
Actions | Ceforanide is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactam, second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Ceforanide causes inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis by inactivating penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) thereby interfering with the final transpeptidation step required for cross-ing of peptidoglycan units which are a component of the cell wall. This results in a reduction of cell wall stability and causes cell lysis. |
