Zenflox belongs to the third generation cephalosporins. This medication works as a bactericidal by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins and inhibits the bacterial cell wall synthesis. It also works as a bactericidal by inhibiting the bacterial DNA gyrase enzyme, which is essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. This leads to expansion and destabilization of the bacterial DNA and causes cell death.
