Mechanism of Action

Ceftriaxone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This leads to:

• Disruption of bacterial cell wall formation
• Weakening of bacterial structure
• Cell lysis and bacterial death

It provides strong bactericidal action against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.
