Filter by:Ceftobiprole is a very active new cephalosporin on staphylococci resistant to methicillin (SEMR: Staphylococcus epidermidis Resistant to Meticillin, SAMR: Staphylococcus aureus Resistant to Meticillin) and / or vancomycin; it is also very active on pneumococci resistant to penicillin and / or 3rd generation cephalosporins. This new drug has AMM in nosocomial respiratory infections, Animal work shows the efficacy of ceftobiprole in gram negative bacillus meningeal infections. The rationale of this study is based on the antibacterial spectrum of ceftobiprole, which would therefore be useful in the treatment of staphylococcal bacterial meningitis resistant patients (SEMR or SAMR) encountered in intensive care and / or neurosurgery and in the treatment of pneumococcal meningitis. To validate these possibilities, it is necessary to know the concentrations of ceftobiprole in the meningeal space.
Ceftaroline is a piece of new cephalosporin very active on resistant staphylococci in methicillin (SEMR: Staphylococcus Epidermidis Resistant in Methicillin, SMAR: Staphylococcus Aureus Resistant in Methicillin)and/or in vancomycin ; Ceftaroline is also very active on pneumococci resistant in penicillin and/or 3rd generation of cephalosporins. Ceftaroline was approved by the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections and community-acquired pneumonia. Scientific literature describes a good efficiency in septicemy and/or SAMR endocarditis. Besides, a study on animal shows the efficiency of ceftaroline in meningeal infections with gram-negative Bacilli. The rationale of this study is based on the antibacterial spectra of ceftaroline that could be used for the antibacterial treatment (curative and prophylactic) of CSF shunt associated infections. To validate this hypothesis, it is necessary to evaluate the concentration of ceftaroline in meningeal compartment after treatment.
