| Active Ingredient | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Ceftaroline fosamil |
In vitro studies have shown that ceftaroline is bactericidal and able to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and penicillin non-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP) due to its affinity for the altered penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) found in these organisms. As a result, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ceftaroline against a proportion of these organisms tested fall into the susceptible range. |
