Ceftaroline fosamil (PPI-0903, TAK-599) is a N-phosphono type prodrug of ceftaroline (cephalosporin 2a, PPI-0903M, T-91825), a fifth-generation penicillin-binding protein (PBP)-targeting cephalosporin class beta-lactam (β-lactam) antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extensively-resistant strains, such as vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA), heteroresistant VISA (hVISA), and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA).
N-phosphono type prodrug of ceftaroline, a fifth-generation PBP-targeting cephalosporin antibiotic against gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA.
Evaluation of the in vivo efficacy of intramuscularly administered ceftaroline fosamil, a novel cephalosporin, against a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain in a rabbit endocarditis model.

PPI-0903 is a new cephalosporin with broad-spectrum activity, including beta-lactam-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. We used the neutropenic murine thigh and lung infection models to examine the pharmacodynamic characteristics of PPI-0903. Serum drug levels following four fourfold-escalating single doses

Microbial resistance has reached alarming levels, threatening to outpace the ability to counter with more potent antimicrobial agents. In particular, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a leading cause of skin and soft-tissue infections and PVL-positive strains have been associated

The aim of this study was to compare the in vivo activities of the new antistaphylococcal drugs ceftaroline fosamil, daptomycin and tigecycline at projected human therapeutic doses against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and glycopeptide-intermediate S. aureus

TAK-599 is a water-soluble prodrug of a cephalosporin compound, T-91825. In vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of T-91825 and TAK-599, respectively, were examined. T-91825 was active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, unlike vancomycin and linezolid, which are inactive
