'''Cefepime''' is a fourth-generation [[cephalosporin]] [[antibiotic]] developed in 1994. It has more activity than third-generation cephalosporins against Gram-postive and Gram-negative bacteria, and because of this, its use is typically reserved for severe [[nococomial]] [[pneumonia]], infections of a multi-resistant bacterial strain and the treatment of [[febrile]] [[neutropenia]]. | |||
