Description

Cefpodoxime proxetil (U-76,252; CS-807) is a new esterified oral cephem antibiotic with a broad antibacterial spectrum. Since data regarding the activity of cefpodoxime against Branhamella catarrhalis are limited, we tested its activity against 200 B. catarrhalis isolates. The drug was highly active against β-lactamase-negative and -positive isolates; 99% of all strains tested showed a cefpodoxime proxetil MIC of ≤ 2.0 μg/ml.
