Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The in-vitro activity of cefodizime was studied against respiratory pathogens and was compared with the activity of other beta-lactams, ciprofloxacin and erythromycin. Cefodizime displayed high activity against Haemophilus influenzae (MIC90 0.008 mg/l), Branhamella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pneumoniae (MIC90 0.5 mg/l). Klebsiella spp. were less susceptible (MIC90 2 mg/l). It was concluded that cefodizime should be a useful agent in the therapy of respiratory tract infections. |
