Mechanism of Action of Cefaclor
Cefaclor, like penicillin, is an antibiotic from the beta-lactam family. It works by binding to specific proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall that are necessary for cell wall synthesis, thereby inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall.
Without a cell wall, the bacterial cell becomes vulnerable to external water and pressures, leading to rapid bacterial death.
