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.

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
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.

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

Using the rabbit endocarditis model, we compared the activity of a new broad-spectrum cephalosporin, ceftaroline, with those of linezolid and vancomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. After a 4-day treatment, ceftaroline exhibited superior bactericidal in vivo activity against resistant S. aureus
