Cefaclor inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), blocking peptidoglycan cross-linking.
This leads to bacterial lysis and death. Spectrum covers typical community Gram-positives and select Gram-negatives; activity varies by region and resistance patterns.
