Emissivity is defined as the ratio of the energy radiated by an object at a given temperature to the energy emitted by a perfect radiator, or blackbody, at the same temperature. The emissivity of a blackbody is 1.0. All values of emissivity fall between 0.0 and 1.0.
Ceftobiprole has been described as fifth-generation cephalosporin, though acceptance for this terminology is not universal. Ceftobiprole has powerful antipseudomonal characteristics and appears to be less susceptible to development of resistance.
Recently, the first Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain (H041) highly resistant to the expanded-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) ceftriaxone and cefixime, which are the last remaining options for first-line gonorrhea treatment, was isolated in Japan.ESULTS. Phenotypic characterization of the high-level cefixime-and ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain F89. All conventional bacteriological tests and six species-verifying assays (see Materials and Methods) confirmed that F89 is a gonococcal strain.
