Evaluation of the Tolerance of Ceftaroline and Ceftobiprole in the Management of BJI / PJI

Evaluation of the Tolerance of Anti-MRSA Betalactamines (Ceftaroline / Ceftobiprole) in the Management of BJI / PJI: a Retrospective Study in a Reference Center

Staphyloccous aureus and coagulase negative staphylocci are responsible of a large marjority of PJI. Regarding the high rate of methicillin resistance, current guidelines recommend the use of a glycopeptide, and most frequently vancomycin, as the anti-gram positive agent in empirical therapy, while awaiting the microbiological results. Vancomycin is not considered as a safe antibiotic, and daptomycin is frequently an alternative option.

Ceftaroline and ceftobiprole are the only betalactam active on methicillin-resistant staphylococci. As some data report a synergistic activity with daptomycin, they could be an option in pandrug-resistant staphylococci BJI, but their use if off label in this indication.
