The arrival of new cephalosporins faces the clinician with an evergrowing confusion as to the drug of choice. The older agents (cephalexin, cephradine, cefadroxil and cefaclor) and the newer formulations cefatrizine and cefuroxime axetil are intensively used for treatment of mild and moderate infections.

European intensive care physicians’ experience of infections due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria [PDF]
Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) compromises the treatment of patients with serious infections in intensive care units (ICUs), and intensive care physicians are increasingly facing patients with bacterial infections with limited or no adequate ...

Estimating the number of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in 2014: a modelling study [PDF]
Background: The number of infections caused by resistant organisms is largely unknown. We estimated the number of infections worldwide that are caused by the WHO priority pathogens third-generation cephalosporin-resistant and carbapenem-resistant ...

The last three decades have seen the emergence of a cornucopia of antimicrobials in the cephalosporin class. This becomes even more apparent when one realizes that over 60 pages of the 1993 AHFS drug information text is dedicated to the cephalosporin class.1 Due to similarities in nomenclature and the proliferation of available agents, the clinician ...
