HEY!
Answer:
Some antibacterials (eg, penicillin, cephalosporin) kill bacteria outright and are called bactericidal. They may directly attack the bacterial cell wall, which injures the cell. The bacteria can no longer attack the body, preventing these cells from doing any further damage within the body

- Antibiotics are used to treat or prevent some types of bacterial infection. They work by killing bacteria or preventing them from reproducing and spreading.
- Every time a person takes antibiotics, most bacteria are killed, but a few drug-resistance bacteria strains are left to grow and multiply.
- Penicillin antibiotics stop bacteria multiplying by preventing bacteria from forming th walls that surround them.
- The walls are necessary to protect the bacteria from their environment, and to keep the contents of the bacterial cell together. Bacteria cannot survive without a cell wall.
- Cephalosporin is intially derived from the fungus cephalosporium species.,
- Cephalosporin are a large group of bacterial bacterial antimicrobes that work via their beta-lactam rings.
- The beta-lactam rings bind to the penicillian binding protein and inhibit its normal activity. Unable to synthesis a cell wall, the bacteria die.
