Vansafe CP 500mg Injection works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis. Bacterial cells have a rigid outer layer called the cell wall, which provides structural support and protects the cell from bursting. It binds to specific components in the cell wall, preventing the formation of a stable cell wall structure. As a result, the bacterial cell becomes weak and more susceptible to damage, leading to its death.
