Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Cefotaxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to cell lysis.
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 every 6-8 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.

0.8-1.4 hours (normal renal function); ~2-6 hours in renal impairment; prolonged in neonates and elderly
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
Renal: 50-60% unchanged; biliary: 20-30%; fecal: <5%
Renal: approximately 65-70% of the dose excreted unchanged in urine; biliary/fecal: minimal (<1%)
