Ceftibuten
An oral third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with activity primarily against gram-negative bacteria, used for acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, acute otitis media, and pharyngitis caused by susceptible organisms. It has limited activity against gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus. Once-daily dosing provides convenience for outpatient treatment.
