Cefixime effectively combats a range of bacterial infections. It primarily targets gram-negative bacteria, showing strong activity against common culprits like Escherichia coli, Salmonella species (including those causing typhoid fever), and Shigella species (responsible for bacillary dysentery).
Additionally, cefixime demonstrates efficacy against certain gram-positive bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae (a frequent cause of pneumonia and other respiratory infections) and some strains of Haemophilus influenzae (associated with ear infections, sinusitis, and bronchitis).
Important Note: Cefixime’s effectiveness varies depending on the specific bacteria and its resistance patterns. A doctor should always determine the appropriate antibiotic based on culture and sensitivity testing to ensure optimal treatment.
Always consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment. Never self-medicate.
