It interferes to the final step
in the formation of the
bacterial cell wall (inhibition
of mucopeptide
biosynthesis), resulting in
unstable cell membranes that
undergo lysis (same
mechanism of actions as
penicillins). Also, cell
division and growth are
inhibited. The cephalos-
porins are most effective
against young, rapidly
dividing organisms and are
considered bactericidal.
