[In vitro activity of cefotaxime against enterobacteriaceae. Comparison with cephalothin, cefazolin, cefamandole, cefoxitin and cefuroxime on 117 strains isolated from neutropenic patients (author's transl)].
The considerable activity of cefotaxime on enterobacteriaceae is especially useful in neutropenic patients who are particularly at risk of septicaemia complications. The rapidly fatal development of this type of infections necessitates the use of a presumably efficacious therapy even before the result of blood cultures are obtained. The in vitro activity of cefotaxime in enterobacteriaceae has been compared to that of cephalothin, cefazolin, cefamandole, cefoxitin and cefuroxime.
