Biological activities

Cefdinir is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefdinir is very active against the Enterobacteriaceae with a MIC50 value of ??0.03-8 µg/mL. In contrast to cefixime, cefdinir inhibits Staphylococcus aureus with a MIC90 value of 1 µg/mL. Cefdinir also inhibits Pneumococci, beta-hemolytic streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and pathogenic Neisseria spp. With MIC90 values ranging from 0.12 to 0.5 µg/mL.[1] In another in vitro study, the MIC90 values of cefdinir for Staphylococcus aureus (30 strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis (24 strains), and Staphylococcus hominis(10 strains) are 0.25, 0.06, and 0.125 mg/L, respectively. The MIC90 values of cefdinir for Staphylococcus xylosus(15 strains), Staphylococcus capitis (11 strains), and Staphylococcus saprophyticus (10 strains) are 0.5, 0.5, and 4 mg/L, respectively.[2] In studies using β-lactamase-nonproducing (βLAC-) and -producing (βLAC+) Staphylococcus aureus strains, the PD50s of cefdinir are 11 and 2.3 for preventing subcutaneous abscess and 2.7 and 2.3 mg/kg for preventing lethal systemic infection, respectively. In studies using βLAC-??and βLAC+??Haemophilus influenzae, the PD50s of cefdinir are 5.8 and 3.1 mg/kg for preventing lethal systemic infection.[3]
