Cefpirome sulfate

Description

Cefpirome sulfate is a new injectable cephalosporin indicated for the treatment of severe urinary and respiratory tract infections, including septicemia and nosocomial infections. Cefpirome sulfate is reported to be the first true fourth-generation cephalosporin due to its similar activities to third-generation antibiotics against Gram-positive bacteria and to first-generation antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria. Its efficacy against P.aeruginosa is comparable to ceftazidime. The broad spectrum of activity includes Klebsiella, methicillin-sensitive staphylococci, penicillin-resistant pneumococci, E.coli which generates extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and multi-resistant organisms such as Citrobacter, Enterobacter and Serratia.
