It offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage, particularly effective against gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Uses Prexidin Injection treats serious bacterial infections including lower respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, septicemia, bone and joint infections, meningitis, and severe skin/soft tissue infections.
