Cefaclor binds to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death. It has bactericidal activity against gm-ve bacteria including E. coli, S. pneumoniae, N. gonorrhoea, P. mirabilis and H. influenzae.

Drug Interactions ::

May enhance the nephrotoxic effect of aminoglycosides. May diminish the therapeutic effect of BCG, typhoid vaccine and Na picosulfate. Concomitant use w/ warfarin may increase prothrombin time. Probenecid inhibits renal excretion of cefaclor.
