Cephalexin works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It belongs to the class of antibiotics known as first-generation cephalosporins. Cephalexin specifically targets the final stage of peptidoglycan synthesis in the bacterial cell wall, preventing its formation. This is achieved through the binding of cephalexin to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in susceptible bacteria, which interferes with the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, an essential step in cell wall construction. By disrupting the integrity of the cell wall, cephalexin weakens the bacterial cell structure, leading to cell lysis and ultimately, bacterial death.
