Fluclox 500mg Capsule contains 'Flucloxacillin sodium' that works by preventing the cell wall formation of the bacteria which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, Fluclox 500mg Capsule kills the bacteria and effectively treats various bacterial infections.
Flucloxacillin is effective against gram-positive bacteria, including types that produce penicillinase. Gram-negative bacilli are not actively attacked by it. Flucloxacillin works by preventing bacteria's cell walls from forming. Flucloxacillin is an isoxazolyl penicillin that combines the qualities of action against gram-positive bacteria, stomach acid stability, and resistance to hydrolysis by penicillinase. A bactericidal antibiotic called flucloxacillin is very effective against staphylococci that make penicillinase. Flucloxacillin destroys bacterial cell walls, which prevents the production of peptidoglycan. The heteropolymeric structure known as peptidoglycan gives the cell wall its mechanical stability. The completion of the cross-linking with the terminal glycine residue of the pentaglycin bridge attaching to the fourth residue of the pentapeptide marks the end of the peptidoglycan production process. (D-alanine). Flucloxacillin inhibits the transpeptidase enzyme, which accomplishes this step. The outcome is a weakening of the bacterial cell wall, swelling, and eventual rupture of the cell. Due to steric hindrance caused by the acyl side chain, which hinders the opening of the - lactam ring, flucloxacillin resists the action of bacterial penicillinase.
