Can cefixime treat mixed bacterial-fungal infections and how does it compare to other antibiotics in managing infections that involve both bacteria and fungi, such as those in immunocompromised patients?
Cefixime targets only bacteria and not fungi. For mixed infections, additional antifungal agents are required. It is less effective compared to broader-spectrum antibiotics used in immunocompromised patients.
