Ceftobiprole (Zeftera/Zevtera) is a 4th generation cephalosporin antibiotic with activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococci. It was discovered by Basilea Pharmaceutica and was developed by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development. It has been shown to be statistically non-inferior to the combination of vancomycin and ceftazidime for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections.
It has been described as a "fifth generation" cephalosporin, though acceptance for this terminology is not universal.
Pharmacology
Ceftobiprole inhibits the 2a penicillin-binding protein (pbp) of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and the 2x pbp of Streptococcus pneumoniae as well as the classic PBP-2 of MSSA. Ceftobiprole is resistant to staphylococcal β-lactamase.
Dosing
Ceftobiprole cannot be given by mouth and so is given intravenously. It is not FDA approved to be used in children.
Ceftobiprole has been approved for use in Canada and Switzerland, and is under review by regulatory authorities in the United States, the European Union, Australia, Russia and South Africa. In November 2008 the US FDA declined to approve Ceftobiprole citing data integrity concerns with two of the supporting studies, and prompting Basilea to sue Johnson & Johnson for breach of license agreement on February 2009.
