About this document
Overview of Cephalosporin Antibiotics by Roberto Corrales is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Cephalosporins are a class of bactericidal beta-lactam antibiotics that inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. They are classified by generation and are effective against a range of infections, particularly those caused by Enterobacteriaceae and some anaerobic species. Common adverse effects include allergic reactions, and they are contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to penicillins.
