Ceftaroline fosamil (ceftaroline) was recently approved for the treatment of community- acquired pneumonia (CAP) and complicated skin infections. This newly developed cephalosporin possesses a broad spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Most importantly, ceftaroline demonstrates potent in vitro antimicrobial activity against multi-drug resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. In two Phase III, double-blinded, randomized, prospective trials (FOCUS 1 and FOCUS 2), ceftaroline was shown to be non-inferior to ceftriaxone for the treatment of CAP in hospitalized patients. Ceftaroline exhibits low resistance rates and a safety profile similar to that of other cephalosporins. In this review, we will evaluate the pharmacological characteristics, safety, antimicrobial properties, and efficacy of ceftaroline and its applications in the treatment of CAP.
头孢洛林酯(头孢洛林)最近被批准用于治疗社区获得性肺炎(CAP)和复杂性皮肤感染。这种新开发的头孢菌素对革兰氏阳性菌和革兰氏阴性菌具有广泛的活性。最重要的是,头孢洛林对多药耐药肺炎链球菌和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌具有强大的体外抗菌活性。在两项 III 期、双盲、随机、前瞻性试验(FOCUS1 和 FOCUS2)中,头孢洛林在治疗住院患者的 CAP 方面被证明不劣于头孢曲松。头孢洛林具有较低的耐药率和与其他头孢菌素相似的安全性。在这篇综述中,我们将评估头孢洛林的药理学特性、安全性、抗菌特性和疗效及其在 CAP 治疗中的应用。
