Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in bacterial cell wall, inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to cell lysis and death.
Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to cell lysis and death.

Adult: 1-2 g IV or IM every 24 hours. Maximum 4 g/day for severe infections.
