Pharmacology

Cefuroxime, as a cephalosporin antibiotic, works by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) present in the bacterial cell wall. These PBPs are essential for the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a crucial component of the bacterial cell wall. By inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis, cefuroxime disrupts the formation of a stable cell wall structure. This inhibition leads to the weakening of the bacterial cell wall, making it unable to withstand the internal osmotic pressure, ultimately causing bacterial cell death. This mechanism of action is vital in treating bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms.
