Fourth-generation agents have more activity against gram-negative organisms and have an increased ability to reach the cerebrospinal fluid. First-generation agents are more vulnerable to destruction by beta-lactamases.
First-generation agents are not more active against anaerobes, nor do they have increased resistance to beta-lactamases.
