Antimicrobial activity of cefmetazole compared with those of other cephalosporins

R F Schell et al. Chemotherapy. 1986.

Abstract

The antimicrobial activity of cefmetazole was compared with those of cefmenoxime, ceftizoxime, cefamandole, cefoperazone, cefotaxime, cephalothin, and latamoxef. In general, the activity of cefmetazole was less than those of the other cephalosporins. The in vitro activity of cefmetazole suggests that it will not prove useful as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens.
