CEFEXOL 400MG CAP 5s

Cefixime 400mg capsules exhibit their antibacterial activity through a specific mechanism of action. Cefixime primarily inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to and blocking the activity of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are essential enzymes responsible for cross-linking peptidoglycan strands in the bacterial cell wall. By inhibiting PBPs, Cefixime disrupts the formation of a strong and stable cell wall, leading to weakened bacterial cell structure and ultimately cell lysis. This mechanism is particularly effective against susceptible bacteria, as it interferes with a vital process required for their growth and survival.
