Overview:

Cefixime
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Cefixime, an antibiotic, a third-generation cephalosporin like ceftriaxone and cefotaxime, is used in the treatment of otitis media, and respiratory tract and urinary tract infections. The antibacterial effect results from inhibition of mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall For the treatment of the following infections (UTI, respiratory, ENT) caused by; E.coli, P.mirabilis, H.influenzae (beta-lactamase positive and negative strains), M.catarrhalis, (most of which are beta-lactamase positive), S. pyogenes, S.pneumoniae, N.gon

Mechanism Of Action:
Like all beta-lactam antibiotics, cefixime binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, causing the inhibition of the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that cefixime interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.
