Comparison of once-daily versus twice-daily administration of cefdinir against typical bacterial respiratory tract pathogens

In an in vitro pharmacodynamic model, a twice-daily cefdinir dosing regimen was more effective than a once-daily regimen against common bacterial respiratory pathogens in producing 3-log₁₀ killing and preventing the occurrence of regrowth at 24 h. Twice-daily administration is likely the more appropriate cefdinir dosing strategy for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia.
