Cefalexin is a potent antibiotic that disrupts the construction of a crucial part in bacterial cells called the peptidoglycan layer. Think of this layer as the building blocks that give bacteria their structure. Cefalexin tricks the bacteria by looking like an essential component of these building blocks, sticking to a key spot needed for construction. This interference messes up the building process, leading to the breakdown of the bacterial cell. Cefalexin works well against certain bacteria, but some can fight back using an enzyme called β-lactamase, making the antibiotic less effective.
Bacterial infections are illnesses caused by harmful bacteria that multiply or release toxins in the body. They can affect different parts of the body, such as the skin, lungs, gut, blood, or brain. They can cause symptoms such as fever, chills, pain, swelling, rash, or organ dysfunction.
