Image
                  CEPHALOSPORIN ANTIBACTERIAL SPECTRUM: GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA : Streptococcus pyogens  Viridan streptococci Staphylococcus aureus  Streptococcus pneumonia  GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA: E.coli Klebsiella Pneumonia Proteus MECHANISM OF ACTION : IN GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA - Cephalosporin penetrate peptidoglycan layer bind to penicillin binding protein blocking its activity there by causing damage to peptidoglycan synthesis  IN GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA- Enter through outer membrane bind to penicillin binding protein and damage peptidoglycan synthesis  some may release beta lactamase that bind to cephalosporin which inhibit its function but clavulanic acid and cephalosporin  thereby binds the bacteria and thus enabling bacterial action  SECOND GENERATION: CEFUROXIME- Resistant to gram negative beta lactamase Active against -ampicillin resistant H.Influenza Well tolerated in intramuscular action THIRD GEN...
