Combipen Vet IM Injection

All beta lactum antibiotics bind to bacterial cell receptors. These receptors are involved in the cross-linking of peptide side chain-transpeptidation reaction. Gram-positive bacteria have more receptors for beta lactums than gram-negative organisms. After beta lactums have attached to the cell receptors, peptidoglycan synthesis (cell wall) is inhibited because the activity of transpeptidation enzyme is blocked leads to the formation of defective cell wall that are osmotically unstable. Cell death result from cell lysis.
