<unk>  treats infections of the: * Urinary tract: Uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by susceptible isolates of Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis. * Ear: Otitis media caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pyogenes. * Throat: Tonsillitis and pharyngitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. * Chest and lungs: Chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. * Cervix and urethra: Gonorrhea (cervical/urethral) caused by susceptible isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (penicillinase-and non-penicillinase-producing isolates). *Skin and soft tissue infection: effective against group A and B beta-hemolytic streptococci. However, Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci and enterococci are resistant. It is also used to treat typhoid fever. Spectrum of bacterial susceptibility<unk>  is a broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic and is commonly used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, urinary tract, and upper respiratory tract. The following represents MIC susceptibility data for a few medically significant microorganisms: * Escherichia coli: 0.015 µg/mL – 4 µg/mL * Haemophilus influenzae: ≤0.004 µg/mL – >4 µg/mL * Proteus mirabilis: ≤0.008 µg/mL – 0.06 µg/mL * Streptococcus pneumoniae: 0.12 µg/mL * Staphylococcus aureus: >128 µg/mL (Resistant) * Enterobacter spp. : >128 µg/mL (Resistant)
