Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. Administered via a ceftriaxone injection, it works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Ceftriaxone binds to penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting the production of peptidoglycan, an essential component of bacterial cell walls. This weakens the cell wall, causing the bacteria to burst due to osmotic pressure. Effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, it treats conditions like pneumonia, meningitis, and urinary tract infections. The ceftriaxone injection ensures rapid delivery into the bloodstream, providing quick action against infections.
