Is there a role for cefpodoxime for treatment of acute cystitis caused by an Enterobacterales isolate with resistance to cefazolin, but susceptibility to ceftriaxone?
Can cefpodoxime susceptibility be reliably extrapolated from ceftriaxone susceptibility?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
Yes – “sort of”.
This is a much more complex question than it initially seems. First some background.
CLSI has established a surrogate cefazolin breakpoint to predict susceptibility of urine isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis caus...
