Bioactivity | Ceftibuten (Sch39720), an antibiotic, is an orally active cephalosporin, possesses potent activity in vitro against a wide range of gram-negative and certain gram-positive pathogens[1][2]. |
Invitro | Ceftibuten (Sch39720) is highly active against Haemophilus influenza, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., and Proteus sp. and moderately active against Serratia sp. and Streptococcus pyogenes. Ceftibuten is relatively inactive against enterococci and staphylococci and is only weakly active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and obligate anaerobes. It is also stable in the presence of most β-lactamase-producing organisms except βBacteroides fragilis. Ceftibuten is very active against strains of the family Enterobacteriaceae (mean MIC for 90% of strains=0.25 μg/ml) but less active against Campylobacterjejuni (mean MIC for 90% of strains=16.0 μg/ml)[1]. |
