NCIt definition : A third-generation, semi-synthetic, beta-lactam cephalosporin antibiotic with antibacterial
activity. Cefmenoxime binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), transpeptidases
that are responsible for crosslinking of peptidoglycan. By preventing crosslinking
of peptidoglycan, cell wall integrity is lost and cell wall synthesis is halted.;
