How it Works

Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking and leading to cell lysis and death.

Tazobactam is a β-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the activity of β-lactam antibiotics like ceftriaxone by protecting them from enzymatic degradation, thereby broadening the antibacterial spectrum.
