What are the first generation Cephalosporins?
- Cefazolin
- cephalexin
- cefadroxil
First generation Cephalosporin spectrum
- Extended G+ spectrum
- the G- that they target: Proteus, E. coli, Klebsiella (PEcK)
What are the Second Generation Cephalosporins?
- Cefoxitin
- cefuroxime
- cefaclor
- cefprozil
Second Generation Cephalosporins spectrum
- (More) Extended G+ spectrum
- Hemophilus, Enterobacter, Neisseria (HENPEcK)
- Less sensitive to β-lactamases compared to first generation
What are the Third Generation Cephalosporins?
- Cefotaxime
- Ceftriaxone
- Ceftazidime
Third Generation Cephalosporins spectrum
- Broad spectrum antibiotics
- Gram +, but less active on Gram + than first generation
- Most enterobacteriaceae (rod-shaped Gram -)
- Resistant to β-lactamases
Ceftazidime spectrum
unusual high activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NOT an enterobacteriaceae)
Ceftaroline spectrum
- Broad Spectrum
- Resistant to β-lactamases
- Unusually good activity against MRSA, and even against vancomycin-resistant Staph. aureus (VRSA)
- First β-LACTAM approved to treat MRSA and VRSA
- Not active against P. aeruginosa
What are the Fourth Generation Cephalosporins?
Cefepime
Fourth Generation Cephalosporins (Cefepime) spectrum
- Broad spectrum
- Better activity than third generation on G+
- Active on most enterobacteriaceae (like third gen.)
- Excellent activity against P. aeruginosa
- Resistant to β-lactamases
