How This Drug Works
Beta Lactam Antibiotics
Beta-lactam antibiotics include Penicillins, Cephalosporins, and Carbapenams and treat a variety of bacterial infections. They prevent the growth of bacteria by damaging the cell wall, bacteria's strongest protection from the environment.
"Beta-lactam antibiotics treat a variety of bacterial infections. They prevent the growth of bacteria by damaging the cell wall, bacteria's strongest protection from the environment.<br><br>
Bacteria are everywhere. Some can be "good" bacteria but infections can occur when large amounts of any type of bacteria sneak past the body's natural defenses and multiply. Bacteria multiply by growing and splitting in half. One of the last steps in this process is sealing off the opening in the cell wall.<br><br>
Beta-Lactam antibiotics have a commonly shaped structural piece, called the "Beta-Lactam ring," which allows these drugs to bind proteins and, in turn, prevent the formation of a cell wall. Beta-lactam antibiotics attach to and inactivate enzymes in the bacterial cell membrane. This interferes with how bacteria form their cell wall, which stops bacteria from growing and multiplying. "
