How does cefixime compare to carbapenems in terms of resistance and what are the advantages or limitations of cefixime in treating infections caused by resistant bacterial strains, especially in healthcare settings?
Cefixime is less effective against carbapenem-resistant bacteria due to weaker activity against Gram-negatives. Its advantage is oral administration, but it’s limited by resistance in healthcare settings.
