Cephalosporin Group by: Dr. Tamim Al Shahneh – Syria 

In summary, the Cephalosporin group is commonly used for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions. It is compatible with penicillins and the aminoglycoside group.

Caution should be exercised when used in conjunction with the quinolone group and only in life-threatening situations. Compounds belonging to this group are bactericidal. Broad-spectrum cephalosporin compounds affect both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
