 Use of Cephalexin (lysine)


Cephalexin (Cefalexin) lysine is a derivative of Cephalexin with lysine. Cephalexin is a potent, orally active and the first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Cephalexin kills gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria by disrupting the growth of the bacterial cell wall. Cephalexin monohydrate is used for the research of pneumonia, strep throat, and bacterial endocarditis, et al[1].

Bacteria[1]

In Vitro Cefalexin is not effective against infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Enterococcus, or Pseudomonas. Cefalexin disrupts the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls which is responsible for cell wall structural integrity[1].
