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.
1 There are few infections where cephalosporins are the antibiotics of first choice and their use should be avoided when other more narrow spectrum antibiotics remain effective. 2  Ceftriaxone is an appropriate first line treatment for gonorrhoea, pelvic inflammatory disease and epididymo-orchitis.
