Lower respiratory tract infections (bronchitis)

Cephalexin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), blocking the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to weakening of the bacterial structure and ultimately bacterial cell death.
