| Mechanism Of Action | Ceftolozane belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibacterial drugs. Ceftolozane exerts antibacterial effects, preventing the formation of cell walls that protect bacteria from injury and confer resistance to some antibiotics. Its antibacterial activity is also mediated through ceftolozane binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) , which are required for peptidoglycan cross-linking for bacterial cell wall synthesis. As a result of cell wall synthesis inhibition, bacterial cells are killed, treating various infections. |
| Description of the Drug: | Ceftolozane is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat complicated intra-abdominal infections in combination with metronidazole, complicated urinary tract infections, and hospital-acquired pneumonia. |
