NCIt definition : A semisynthetic, extended spectrum acylampicillin with antibacterial activity. Azlocillin
binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall,
thereby inhibiting the cross-linking of peptidoglycans, which are critical components
of the bacterial cell wall. This prevents proper bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby
results in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and eventually leading to cell
lysis.;
