title: [Possibilities for the use of basic cephalosporins].
abstract: The always growing number of cephalosporins constitutes a significant part of the betalactam antibiotics. Depending on antibacterial spectrum and in vitro activity, different groups, e.g. the "cefuroxime-group" and the "cefotaxime-group" have been defined. Based on epidemiologic and comparative in vitro data, the present review offers some guidance where the less expensive cephalosporins of the "cefuroxime-group" may still be clinically useful.
