Mechanism of Action of Fortum Ceftazidime Injection 1g

Ceftazidime, the active component of Fortum Injection, is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is crucial for bacterial survival. Specifically, it binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall. PBPs are enzymes that play a key role in the cross-linking of the peptidoglycan layers that form the cell wall structure. By disrupting these enzymes, Ceftazidime weakens the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death.
