Pharmacology
As with most beta-lactam antibiotics, the bactericidal activity of ceftibuten results from the inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Due to its chemical structure, ceftibuten is highly stable to beta-lactamases.
Many beta-lactamase-producing microorganisms, which are resistant to penicillins or other cephalosporins, may be inhibited by ceftibuten.
