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.
