Zeftera

Zeftera Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Zeftera is a cephalosporin antibiotic with activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It was discovered by Basilea Pharmaceutica and is being developed by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development. Zeftera is the first cephalosporin to demonstrate clinical efficacy in patients with infections due to methicillin-resistant staphylococci and, if approved by regulatory authorities, is expected to be a useful addition to the armamentarium of agents for the treatment of complicated skin infections and pneumonia.

Zeftera, a cephalosporin antibiotic, is active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Uses

Zeftera is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat both community and hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by susceptible bacteria.

For the treatment of serious bacterial infections in hospitalised patients.

Zeftera is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP), Nosocomial Pneumonia

How Zeftera works

Cephalosporins, such as ceftobiprole, are bactericidal and have the same mode of action as other beta-lactam antibiotics (such as penicillins). Cephalosporins disrupt the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls. The peptidoglycan layer is important for cell wall structural integrity, especially in Gram-positive organisms. The final transpeptidation step in the synthesis of the peptidoglycan is facilitated by transpeptidases known as penicillin binding proteins (PBPs). PBPs bind to the D-Ala-D-Ala at the end of muropeptides (peptidoglycan precursors) to crosslink the peptidoglycan. Beta-lactam antibiotics mimic this site and competitively inhibit PBP crosslinking of peptidoglycan.
