Beta-lactams are a major therapeutic class of bactericidal antibacterial agents characterized by a central four-membered lactam ring, encompassing penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and monobactams.
They exert their therapeutic role by binding to and inhibiting bacterial penicillin-binding proteins, which prevents the cross-linking of peptidoglycan during cell wall synthesis and triggers osmotic lysis.
Because of their broad spectrum of activity, beta-lactams are widely indicated to treat diverse bacterial infections, including upper and lower respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, meningitis, and sepsis.
