Ceftobiprole [ brand names : Zevtera (D, A, CH) and Mabelio ( BE , F ); Marketing authorization holder: Basilea Pharmaceutica ] is an antibiotic from the group of cephalosporins . The bactericidal effect is, as with other β-lactam antibiotics and, by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. As a 5th generation cephalosporin, ceftobiprole is also effective against MRSA in contrast to most other β-lactam antibiotics .
In the gram-negative spectrum, ceftobiprole shows good in-vitro activity against Haemophilus influenzae (including ampicillin-resistant strains), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacterales such as Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis . As usual for cephalosporins, ceftobiprole is not effective against pathogens that have an extended spectrum β-lactamase .
Ceftobiprole is approved for the treatment of nosocomial and community-acquired pneumonia (with the exception of ventilator-associated pneumonia) in adults. Ceftobiprole can only be administered parenterally . Studies also suggest a benefit in the treatment of complex skin and soft tissue infections; However, an EU application for approval from Janssen-Cilag for this indication failed in 2010 because the approval studies at some test centers had not been carried out in accordance with the guidelines of good clinical practice (GCP).
The sodium salt of ceftobiprole medocaril is used medicinally due to its better water solubility. Ceftobiprole medocaril is a prodrug from which the active ceftobiprole is formed in vivo by hydrolysis .
