Cefsulodin

Description

Cefsulodin SCE-129 showed potent activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and strains susceptible to penicillin and gentamicin, with effectiveness comparable to that of gentamicin and debendazole. However, its effectiveness was diminished against penicillin-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa, particularly strains that were also resistant to gentamicin. For P. aeruginosa maltofila, SCE-129 showed similar minimum inhibitory concentrations to penicillin, gentamicin, and debendazole. Pseudomonas cepacia strains generally showed moderate resistance to SCE-129 and penicillin, and high resistance to gentamicin and debendazole.
