Abstract
Cefaclor is an orally absorbed cephalosporin antibiotic chemically and pharmacologically similar to cephalexin. It appears to be more active than cephalexin against susceptible strains. The in vitro sensitivity of 230 clinical [human] bacterial isolates to cefaclor was studied. Most isolates of Straphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and indole negative Proteus spp. were inhibited at clinically attainable serum and urine concentrations. Like cephalexin, cefaclor was less active against isolates of Enterobacter spp., indole positive Proteus spp. and enterococci although many of these isolates were inhibited at concentrations achievable in urine.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
