How does cefazolin work to fight disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cell wall synthesis : All penicillins and cephalosporins act by damaging cell wall synthesis in bacteria causing cell death. This is why they work best against rapidly multiplying populations of bacteria. They are less effective against stationary phase bacteria.
