ACTION
_In vitro _
studies indicate that the bactericidal action of ceftriaxone results
from the inhibition of
cell-wall synthesis. In E.coli, ceftriaxone showed a high affinity for
penicillin binding proteins
(PBP) 1a and 3 and a moderate affinity for 1b and 2. In H. influenzae,
the highest affinity was
shown for PBP 4 and PBP 5. The binding affinity to PBP 4 was 35-fold
that of PBP 3, 10-fold
that of PBP 2 and approximately 100-fold that of PBP 1. The
morphological changes resulting
from the PBP binding include filament formation or cell wall and
septal thickening, and then cell
lysis.
