How it works
Cefotaxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall. It binds to specific proteins in bacteria and prevents them from building their protective outer layer. This weakens the bacterial cell wall, causing it to rupture and ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria, thereby treating the infection.
