Ceftaroline fosamil (INN ) , brand name Teflaro in the US and Zinforo in Europe,[ 1] [ 2] is a cephalosporin antibiotic with anti-MRSA activity.[ 3] Ceftaroline fosamil is a prodrug of ceftaroline. It is active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other Gram-positive bacteria. It retains some activity of later-generation cephalosporins having broad-spectrum activity against Gram-negative bacteria, but its effectiveness is relatively much weaker.[ 4] [ 5] It is currently being investigated for community-acquired pneumonia [ 6] and complicated skin and skin structure infection .[ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
Ceftaroline is being developed[when? ] by Forest Laboratories , under a license from Takeda .[ 9]
Ceftaroline received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and acute bacterial skin infections on 29 October 2010.[ 10] In vitro studies show it has a similar spectrum to ceftobiprole ,[not verified in body ] the only other fifth-generation cephalosporin to date,[when? ] although no head-to-head clinical trials have been conducted. Ceftaroline and ceftobiprole are on an unnamed subclass of cephalosporins by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).[not verified in body ]
It was removed from the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines in 2019.[ 11]
