For inflammation of lung infection, it is better to choose cephalosporin or azithromycin

Pneumonia is an inflammatory disease caused by bacteria, fungi and atypical pathogens in the lungs, some of them are seriously destructive, and they cannot be fully understood through their own immunity after infection, and some will not have a huge impact on the human body, and even have a certain degree of self-healing under the resistance of their own immunity, and they will get better, but in general, most pneumonia needs to be treated with antibiotics, especially children, without antibiotic treatment, there may be serious sequelae, So how to choose antibiotics for pneumonia, let's introduce how to choose cephalosporins and azithromycin, which can be used by adults and children.

Cephalosporins are fungicides but have a narrow antimicrobial spectrum

Cephalosporin belongs to the β-lactamase class of antibiotics, which mainly destroys the cell wall synthesis of bacteria to kill bacteria during the proliferative period, as we all know, there is no cell wall on the outside of human cells, while bacteria have a cell wall, this cell wall can protect cells from external environmental factors, if bacteria lose their cell wall, they will autolyze and eventually die, but the cell wall of many bacteria does not have a target targeted by cephalosporin, and some pathogens directly do not have a cell wall, so cephalosporin is against mycoplasma, Atypical pathogens such as chlamydia have no effect.

Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, but it is a bacteriostatic drug

Azithromycin is a bacteriostatic drug that inhibits the synthesis of pathogen proteins, after being acted on by azithromycin, the protein synthesis of pathogens decreases, and bacteria enter an inhibited state, the virulence of the human body decreases, and the resistance to human immunity also decreases, and is finally eliminated by the body, but although the protein of the pathogen is inhibited, the vitality decreases but generally does not die immediately, so azithromycin is not a bactericide.

Therefore, if it is an ordinary bacterial infection, the use of cephalosporin is faster and the bactericidal effect is better, but many types of pneumonia have no effect with cephalosporin, and azithromycin is a bacteriostatic drug, but it can cover more pathogens of pneumonia, and it should be treated according to different pathogens.
