PHARMACOLOGY 

ACTIONS  
_Microbiology _
Ceftazidime is bactericidal in action, exerting its effect on target
cell wall proteins and causing 
inhibition of cell wall synthesis. It is stable to most
beta-lactamases produced by Gram-positive 
and Gram-negative organisms and consequently is active against
many ampicillin and 
cephalothin resistant strains (but not
methicillin resistant strains). Ceftazidime has been shown 
to have _in vitro _activity against the following organisms:
