In vitro antimicrobial activity of ceftizoxime.
The antimicrobial activity of ceftizoxime was compared to cefamandole, cefoperazone, cefotaxime, cephalothin, and lamoxactam (moxalactam) against 549 bacteria. It had activity similar to cefotaxime and lamoxactam against most members of the Enterobacteriaceae. Ceftizoxime should prove useful against gram-negative bacteria except Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp.
