  • Title: Cefotaxime versus ceftriaxone for the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia. Results of a multicenter study.
    Author: Shah PM, Stille W.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 1995; 22(1-2):171-2. PubMed ID: 7587035.
    Abstract:
    Third-generation cephalosporins are the drugs of choice for serious nosocomial pneumonia; however, the recommended dosages are controversial. Our study compared two of these cephalosporins and showed that 2 g cefotaxime every 12 h and 4 g ceftriaxone once daily or 2 g every 12 h proved to be effective therapies for these chest indications.
