The “ideal” antibiotic
• High activity against potential causative pathogens
• Adequate pharmacodynamic profile (good penetration in tissues)
• Safe• Easy posology• Favorable cost/benefit ratio

Key points on microbial etiology and resistance
• Selection of antimicrobial resistance appears to be strongly associated with suboptimal antimicrobial therapy
• Shortening the length of antibiotic treatment helps to reduce the emergence of multiresistant bacteria

Cefditoren pivoxil: PROFILE
Cefditoren pivoxil Cefditoren
• Administered orally as cefditoren pivoxil (CDTR-PI)• Intestinal esterases release the active drug into the
blood stream• Acts by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial wall• The -lactam with the lowest MIC values against
bacterial respiratory pathogens

CONCLUSIONS on bactericidal activity
Against Penicillin resistant S. pneumoniae (MICpeni= 2-4g/mL) CDTR was the only antibiotic showing bactericidal activity at 12 and 24 hours vs. Cefuroxime and Amox/Clav 875/125 bid or tid (Gonzalez et al. ECC, Budapest 2006; submitted to Int J. of Antimicrobial Chemother)
Against H. influenzae with different resistance phenotypes CDTR was the only antibiotic showing bactericidal activity at 12 and 24 hours vs. Cefuroxime and Amox/Clav 875/125 bid or tid. in press: Int. J. of Antimicrobial Chemother.)
A remarkable result in an environment where the BLNAR phenotype is increasing
Bactericidal activity of CDTR was mantained in the presence of 90% human serum at 24 h. despite of the protein binding of CDTR is 88% (Califi et al. ECC, Budapest 2006; submitted to Int. J. Antimicrob. Chemother)
CDTR in preformed Biofilms (S.pneumoniae and H. influenzae) shows bactericidal activity in initial and mature biofilms. (Roveta S, Marchese A., Schito G.C. 34 Congresso Nazionale della Societá Italiana di Microbiologia. Genova, 15-18 Oct. 2006)
