Ceftriaxone (INN) /ˌsɛftraɪˈæksoʊn/ is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. It is a third-generation cephalosporin. Like other third-generation cephalosporins it has broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive bacteria and expanded Gram-negative coverage compared to second-generation agents. In most cases it is considered to be equivalent to cefotaxime in terms of safety and efficacy.
