How It Works

Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidase activity, and activating autolytic enzymes

Mechanism Steps

1Binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on bacterial cell wall
2Inhibits transpeptidase enzyme, preventing cross-linking of peptidoglycan
3Activates autolytic enzymes (autolysins) in bacterial cell wall
4Results in cell wall weakening and lysis
