Stylized structural diagram of a beta-lactam antibiotic molecule showing the penam core with a four-membered beta-lactam ring fused to a thiazolidine ring, a variable R side chain, a carboxylate group, and a sulfur atom highlighted. In the biochemical hierarchy, this small-molecule drug belongs to the beta-lactam class within antibacterial chemotherapy. In microbiology and pharmacology, its application is inhibition of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan crosslinking by acylating penicillin-binding proteins (PBP), thereby blocking transpeptidase activity at the cell envelope.
