It has antibacterial activity due to its ability to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to essential target proteins (penicillin-binding proteins);
This bactericidal action is achieved by inhibiting the synthesis to form the bacterial cell wall through the acylation of transpeptidase enzymes (which act on membrane binding). As a result, the bacterial cell wall will lack the cross-linking of polytidoglycan chains, so the strength and durability of the wall will be reduced.
