Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Cefazolin, a first-generation cephalosporin, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking and autolytic enzyme inhibition.
Cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking, and activating autolytic enzymes.
1-2 g IV/IM every 8 hours. Maximum 12 g/day.
2 g IV every 8-12 hours; usual total daily dose 4-6 g, severe infections up to 12 g daily divided q8h.

1.5-2 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 10-30 hours in ESRD (CrCl <10 mL/min); anephric patients up to 40 hours.
2.2 hours (normal renal function); prolonged to 4-5 hours in elderly or hepatic impairment; in severe renal failure (CrCl <10 mL/min), may extend up to 8 hours.
Primarily renal (80-96% unchanged within 24 hours via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion); minimal biliary (<1%) and fecal (<1%).
Renal: 65-85% unchanged; biliary: 10-20% (fecal elimination); total renal clearance approximates glomerular filtration rate.
