前言在1984年讨论我们是否需要第三代头孢菌素是很有意义的。1980年在日内瓦举行的第一届氨噻肟头孢菌素国际讨论会上,我曾论述氨噻肟头孢菌素在感染疾病的抗菌治疗中的地位。那时,我注意到头孢菌素常常似乎是治疗疾病所寻求的有效药物。我曾试图指出一些新的头孢菌素将克服较早的一些头孢菌素,例如头孢菌素Ⅰ和头孢菌素Ⅱ的微生 Preface It was of interest to discuss in 1984 whether we needed a third generation cephalosporin. At the first international symposium of cefotaxime, held in Geneva in 1980, I discussed the position of cefotaxime in the antibacterial treatment of infectious diseases. At that time, I noticed that cephalosporins often seemed to be effective remedies sought to cure the disease. I have tried to point out that some new cephalosporins will overcome some of the earlier cephalosporins such as Cephalosporin I and Cephalosporin II
