Stronger cephalosporin than ceftriaxone against e coli, maybe cefepime, ceftazidime or cefpirome
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How sensitive are u?: The strength of an antibiotic is measured by how active it is against a specific organism. For the right bug, plain old penicillin may be the 'strongest'. The most important thing to know is the sensitivity or susceptibilities of your bacteria. If your infection is not responding to ceftriaxone, odds are it is resistant to all cephalosporins. Some remain susceptible to cefepeme but not all.
