Cephalosporin History
 The first generation cephalosporins are mostly active against gram positive bacteria and
vary with their delivery routes and uses.
 Second generation cephalosporins are modified to increase spectrum against gram
negative bacteria but have reduced effects against gram positive bacteria. These agents
also have better membrane penetration and more B-lactamase resistance.
 Third generation cephalosporins include effects against pseudomonas infections, they are
also useful in multi-resistant hospital acquired infections.
 Fourth generation cephalosporins are even more efficacious. They have an increased
spectrum over third generation drugs and are excellent in multiple drug resistance
patterns. The only currently available agent in this generation is cefepime.
