Cefoperazone works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, kills the bacteria. On the other hand, sulbactam works by decreasing bacterial resistance and enhancing the activity of cefoperazone against the bacteria
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.
