Descriptor cefalosporinas de tercera generación
Entry term(s) cefalosporina de tercera generación
Scope note: Fármacos que son estructuralmente similares a otras CEFALOSPORINAS pero que tienen un espectro de actividad antibacteriana más amplio que las cefalosporinas de primera y segunda generación. Estos fármacos cubren STAPHYLOCOCCUS, anaerobios grampositivos y STREPTOCOCCUS más resistentes, así como cepas más resistentes de HAEMOPHILUS, NEISSERIA, PROTEUS, ESCHERICHIA COLI y KLEBSIELLA (HNPEK).
