How Ceftazidime Pentahydrate 1000mg Injection Works

Ceftazidime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. The bacterial cell wall is essential for maintaining the shape and integrity of the bacteria. Without a functional cell wall, the bacteria are unable to survive, leading to their destruction. Ceftazidime is particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The pentahydrate form of the drug ensures stability and enhanced efficacy.
