Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of cefmenoxime was compared with those of cefamandole, cefoperazone, cefotaxime, cephalothin, and moxalactam. In general, the activity of cefmenoxime was equivalent to those of the other cephalosporins. Cefmenoxime appears to be a potent antimicrobial agent against most gram-negative microorganisms other than Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp.
