Cefonicid

What is Cefonicid? Cefonicid is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, which falls under the category of beta-lactam antibiotics. It belongs to the ceph-3 (first generation), but has some characteristics similar to second-generation cephalosporins, such as a broad spectrum of activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Cefonicid is administered orally or intravenously, typically for the treatment of various bacterial infections including urinary tract infections, skin infections, and respiratory tract infections. It functions by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in susceptible bacteria, ultimately leading to their death....

Cefoperazone

What is Cefoperazone? Cefoperazone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and intra-abdominal infections. It functions by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, ultimately leading to the death of the bacterial cells. Cefoperazone is administered orally or intravenously and has a broad spectrum of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Its effectiveness in treating severe infections, particularly those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, makes it a valuable addition to antibiotic therapy....

Cefoperazone sodium

What is Cefoperazone sodium? Cefoperazone sodium is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, ultimately leading to the death of the bacterial cell. Cefoperazone sodium is used to treat various infections such as lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections, caused by susceptible bacteria like Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. It is available in injectable form for intravenous or intramuscular administration....

Ceforanide

What is Ceforanide? Ceforanide is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that contains the cephem nucleus with a 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) side chain. It has a broad spectrum of activity, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ceforanide is typically administered intravenously or orally to treat various bacterial infections, but it is no longer commercially available in many countries due to its replacement by other third-generation cephalosporins with improved pharmacokinetics....

Ceforanide sodium

What is Ceforanide sodium? Ceforanide sodium is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It belongs to the cefalotin class of antibiotics and has a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ceforanide sodium is effective against infections caused by susceptible organisms such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Haemophilus influenzae. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in these bacteria, ultimately leading to their death....
