QUICK LINKS

Cefapirin sodium is a cephalosporin antibiotic that functions by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It achieves this by binding to penicillin-binding proteins. This interference disrupts the integrity of the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and ultimately bacterial death. Cefapirin sodium′s mechanism of action involves targeting the transpeptidase enzyme, which is responsible for catalyzing the final step in the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains. By inhibiting this enzyme, Cefapirin sodium disrupts the structural integrity of the bacterial cell wall, rendering the bacteria vulnerable to osmotic lysis. This mechanism of action makes cefapirin sodium effective against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, including staphylococci and streptococci.
