La ceftazidima es un antibiótico perteneciente al grupo de las cefalosporinas de tercera generación, de uso frecuente en la práctica clínica por su amplio espectro antibacteriano.

Ceftazidime is an antibiotic belonging to the group of third generation cephalosporins, frequently used in clinical practice for its broad antibacterial spectrum.
