COMPOSITION:
Aztreonam 1gm/2gm Injection
MODE OF ACTION:
The bactericidal action of aztreonam results from the inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Due to a high affinity of Aztreonam for penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3). By binding to PBP3, Aztreonam inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. This causes the formation of elongation or bacterial filamentation resulting in cell lysis and cell death.
