Cefuroxime for injection

Function and Efficacy

This product is a first-generation cephalosporin, which has good antibacterial effect on some strains of Gram-positive cocci such as non-penicillinase-producing and penicillinase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative Staphylococci, group A hemolytic streptococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae and viridans streptococci. Anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria are mostly sensitive to this product, while Bacteroides fragilis is resistant to it. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococci and Enterococci are resistant to this product. The effect of this product on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria is similar to that of cephalexin. This product has a certain effect on gonococci and is also active against enzyme-producing gonococci; its activity against Haemophilus influenzae is poor.
