Cephalosporins
Cephalosporins destroy the outer wall of bacteria, thereby
killing the bacteria but not harming our body's own cells. Cephalosporins are available in many dosage forms - some of which can be taken by mouth, and others must be injected or given intravenously. The specific cephalosporin selected for an infection will depend on the type of bacteria causing the infection and the severity of the infection. Drugs in the class
