P-lactam antibiotics, exert thek antibacterial effect by interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. These antibiotics tend to be "kreversible" inhibitors of cell wall biosynthesis and they are usually bactericidal at concentrations close to thek bacteriostatic levels. Cephalospotins are widely used for treating bacterial infections. They are highly effective antibiotics and have low toxicity. 

The P-lactam antibiotics ate produced by secondary metaboHc reactions that differ from those responsible for the growth and reproduction of the microorganism. In order to enhance antibiotic synthesis, nutrients must be diverted from the primary pathways to the antibiotic biosynthetic sequences. Although most media for the production of penicillins and cephalosporins are similar, they ate individually designed for the specific requkements of the high yielding strains and the fermentation equipment used. 

The antibacterial effectiveness of penicillins cephalospotins and other P-lactam antibiotics depends upon selective acylation and consequentiy, iaactivation, of transpeptidases involved ia bacterial ceU wall synthesis. This acylating ability is a result of the reactivity of the P-lactam ring (1). Bacteria that are resistant to P-lactam antibiotics often produce enzymes called P-lactamases that inactivate the antibiotics by cataly2ing the hydrolytic opening of the P-lactam ring to give products (2) devoid of antibacterial activity.

Penicillins and other /3-lactam antibiotics (see the Focus On in this chapter) typically develop a resistance to bacteria due to bacterial synthesis of /Mactamase enzymes. Tazobactam, however, is able to inhibit the activity of the /3-lactamase by trapping it, thereby preventing resistance from developing.

This insertion is accomplished by an enzyme called transpeptidase. -Lactam antibiotics function as substrates for the transpeptidase, thereby establishing selective inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. The structural similarity between -lactam antibiotics and the alanylalanine unit is remarkable as can be seen in Figure 6.8. 

Like penicillins, cephalosporins are (3-lactam antibiotics and interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis. A very large number of cephalosporins are available for clinical use. They differ in their route of administration and clinical use.
