• Product Overview:
  Cephalexin is a cephalosporin antibiotic that is active against most Gram-positive cocci, including penicillinase-producing Staphylococci, and against Gram-negative bacteria such as N. gonorrhoeae, E. coli, K. pneumonia, Salmonellae, Shigella, and some strains of H. influenza.{27468} It is not effective against Proteus species, Pseudomonas, or mycobacteria.{27468} Cephalexin specifically inactivates penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 3, which is essential for bacterial cell wall synthesis.{25731} It has been combined with antibiotics that preferentially target alternate PBP isotypes as a strategy to combat drug-resistant bacteria.{26293}
