Bioactivity Comments |
Cefodizime has broad-spectrum activity against a range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including Streptococcus spp. (MIC90 of 0.004-0.25 μg/ml) and Haemophilus influenzae (MIC90 < 0.004 μg/ml) [2]. However, it has very limited in vitro activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cefodizime is stable to hydrolysis by many common β-lactamases. |
