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.
Cefiderocol is a cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), particularly PBP3, and is stable against a broad range of beta-lactamases, including carbapenemases, due to its ability to penetrate the outer membrane via the bacterial iron transport system.
1-2 g IV/IM every 8 hours. Maximum 12 g/day.
1 gram intravenously over 3 hours every 8 hours in patients 18 years and older with creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min.

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.
Terminal elimination half-life: 2.5-3.5 hours; prolonged in renal impairment (e.g., up to 5-6 hours in severe renal impairment), requiring dose adjustment
Primarily renal (80-96% unchanged within 24 hours via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion); minimal biliary (<1%) and fecal (<1%).
Renal: approximately 65-70% of the dose excreted unchanged in urine; biliary/fecal: minimal (<1%)
