Cefoperazone exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, and sulbactam acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, to increase the antibacterial activity of cefoperazone against beta-lactamase-producing organisms
Cefoperazone was 90% bound to serum proteins. The apparent volume of distribution was 10 to 13L. The half-life of the drug varied from 1.6 to 2.4 hours; serum clearance was between 75 and 96 ml/min. Urinary excretion was rapid, but only 15 to 36% of the cefoperazone dose was recovered in the urine
