Ceftaroline is a cephalosporin antibacterial with in vitro activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. The bactericidal action of ceftaroline is mediated through binding to essential penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Biochemical studies have shown that ceftaroline has high affinity for PBP2a of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and PBP2x of penicillin non-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP). As a result, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ceftaroline against a proportion of these organisms tested fall into the susceptible range. |
