Mechanism of Action

Carbenicillin exerts its antibacterial activity by interference with final cell wall synthesis of susceptible bacteria. The antibacterial activity of Geocillin is due to its rapid conversion to carbenicillin by hydrolysis after absorption. Though Geocillin provides substantial in vitro activity against a variety of both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, the most important aspect of its profile is in its antipseudomonal and antiproteal activity.[1]
