The active ingredient in Fish Flex, cephalexin, inhibits the synthesis of the cell wall in bacteria, resulting in their death. Cephalexin, a cephalosporin antibiotic, works against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. With repeated use, some gram-negative rods, such as E. coli, may develop resistance to Fish Flex.
