Keflex Bacteriostatic or Bactericidal

The nature of a medicine is the difference between bacteriostatic and bactericidal. In today's discussion of a medicine, the name Keflex, is its nature bacteriostatic or bactericidal?

Taste the medical way, the efficacy of medicine is related to the cure of the disease. If it is a bacteriostatic agent, it can control the reproduction of bacteria, so that the number does not increase, but the bacteria do not die; if it is a bactericidal drug, it can sterilize the vitality and make the bacteria dissipate.

Keflex belongs to the beta-lactam class. Such drugs have the ability to destroy the cell wall of bacteria. Bacterial cell walls, such as human skin, provide a barrier against the outside world. Keflex enters the body and combines with the bacterial penicillin-binding protein, causing the synthesis of the cell wall to be blocked. If the cell wall is missing or damaged, the bacteria cannot maintain its shape and structure, so it absorbs water and expands, and eventually breaks and dies. From this point of view, Keflex is really bactericidal, not just bacteriostatic. When the doctor is taking medicine, he should understand this principle and take advantage of the situation to make the medicine as effective as possible to help the patient's disease.
