Description

Cefadroxil is a semisynthetic antibiotic that belongs to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of pept1, which is involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefadroxil has minimal toxicity and does not cause drug interactions with other drugs. It also has a low rate constant and can be detected by an analytical method that uses colloidal gold. Cefadroxil is active against Streptococcus pyogenes, but is not effective against other bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa because it does not bind well to the bacterial membrane. It can be used for the treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis caused by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. Cefadroxil binds to the enzyme peptidyl transferase, thereby inhibiting its activity and preventing protein synthesis in bacteria.
