Rocef is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by sensitive Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. These include-
- Undesirable Upper respiratory tract infections: sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngo-tracheo bronchitis and otitis media, and also
- Lower respiratory tract infections: bronchitis (acute and chronic), lobar pneumonia and bronchopneumonia.
- Urinary tract infections: cystitis, urethritis and pyelonephritis.
- Skin and soft tissue infections: abscess, cellulitis, furunculosis and impetigo.
The following microorganisms are susceptible, in vitro to Rocef:
- Gram-positive: Staphylococci (both penicillin sensitive and resistant strains and penicillinase-producing species), Streptococci, Streptococci pyogenes (beta haemolytic), Streptococcus pneumonia.
- Gram-negative: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp, Proteus mirabilis, Haemophilus influenza, Shigella spp, Salmonella spp (including Salmonella typhi), Neisseria spp Many strains of E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus that produce the enzyme penicillinase and thus are ampicillin resistant, are susceptible to Rocef which is unaffected by this enzyme.
Cephradine is a semisynthetic broad spectrum bactericidal antibiotic, it is active against infections caused by both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. Both penicillinase producing and nonproducing staphylococci are sensitive to Cephradine. The main site of action of Cephradine is the cell wall of bacteria. Cell wall of sensitive organism contains peptidoglycan. Cephradine inhibits cross-linking process and as a result cell wall with many pores are formed, thus lysis of bacteria occur due to external osmotic pressure.
