Cefprozil, (E)-
The E-geometric isomer of cefprozil is the active component of this oral second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used for respiratory and skin infections. It has activity against both gram-positive organisms like Streptococcus and gram-negative organisms like Haemophilus influenzae. It is generally well tolerated with a safety profile similar to other oral cephalosporins.
