How TICOCIN 200MG INJECTION Works
- TICOCIN 200MG INJECTION works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to the bacterial cell wall precursors, preventing their incorporation into the growing cell wall, ultimately leading to bacterial death.
- TICOCIN 200MG INJECTION exerts its antibacterial activity by interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It specifically targets gram-positive bacteria by binding to the D-alanyl-D-alanine residues of the cell wall precursors. This binding prevents the transglycosylation and transpeptidation steps of peptidoglycan synthesis, inhibiting the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains. As a result, the bacterial cell wall becomes defective and weak, leading to cell lysis and death. TICOCIN 200MG INJECTION has a bactericidal effect against susceptible bacteria and is particularly effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other gram-positive pathogens.
