Uses

Ceftaroline fosamil hydrate is a potent cephalosporin antibiotic. Ceftaroline fosamil hydrateshows broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, and common Gram-negative organisms. Ceftaroline fosamil hydrate has anti-infective activity, and can be used for the research of complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSIs) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP)[1][2][3].
