Mechanism of Action

Cefaclor binds to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death. It has bactericidal activity against gm-ve bacteria including E. coli, S. pneumoniae, N. gonorrhoea, P. mirabilis and H. influenzae.
