Ceftriaxone Sodium is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It achieves this by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) inside the bacterial cell, leading to the disruption of cell wall biosynthesis. This bacterial action results in the lysis and death of bacteria due to the compromised integrity of the bacterial cell wall.
