cefpodoxime antibacterial effect by inhibiting bacterial cell wall membrane system boundary GGT, the formation of cross-linking of the peptide effect can not be, sticky bacterial cell wall peptide synthesis blocked, resulting in cell wall defects, bacterial cells lose their protective barrier, so that bacteria swelling, deformation, rupture and death. Cefpodoxime of β-lactamases have good stability, and thus many ampicillin-resistant strains or resistant to amoxicillin were effective.
 in vitro antimicrobial tests showed that its activity is superior to other β-lactam antibiotics, cefpodoxime show coordination with the host defense agencies bactericidal effect of β-lactamase-producing strains also showed strong antibacterial activity.
