Essential insights

• Inhibition of cell wall synthesis: Cefalonium, a beta-lactam antibiotic, works by inhibiting enzymes involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis. This weakens the cell wall, leading to bacterial death.
• Bactericidal effect: The substance actively kills growing bacteria, aiding in infection elimination.
