Mechanism of Action of Dorobac Doripenem For Injection, 500 mg
Doripenem works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This inhibition disrupts the cross-linking of peptidoglycan layers in the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death. As a carbapenem antibiotic, Doripenem exhibits a broad spectrum of activity, including resistance to many beta-lactamases that typically inactivate other antibiotics. This makes Dorobac an effective choice for treating severe and multi-drug resistant bacterial infections.
