Cephalexin hydrochloride（Cat No.:I004237）is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections in the respiratory tract, skin, urinary tract, and bones. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell rupture and death, making it effective against various gram-positive bacteria and some gram-negative organisms. Known for its safety and efficacy, Cephalexin hydrochloride is widely used in both human and veterinary medicine. Its oral administration and broad-spectrum coverage make it a practical choice for treating infections, especially those caused by susceptible staphylococci and streptococci.
