CEFSTAR INJECTION 1 GM 1S

Description

Cefepime 1000mg Injection is a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the bacterial cell membrane, interfering with the final step of bacterial cell wall formation. This disruption weakens the cell wall, leading to bacterial lysis and death. Cefepime has a broad spectrum of activity, effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those that produce beta-lactamases. Its stability against certain beta-lactamases enhances its ability to combat resistant bacterial strains.
