  • Antibiotics Currently in Clinical Development
    A data table from Feb 2018 Antibiotics Currently in Global Clinical Development Note: This data visualization was updated in December 2017 with new data. As of September 2017, approximately 48 new antibiotics1 with the potential to treat serious bacterial infections are in clinical development. The success rate for clinical drug development is low; historical data show that, generally, only 1 in 5 infectious disease products that enter human testing (phase 1 clinical trials) will be approved for patients.* Below is a snapshot of the current antibiotic pipeline, based on publicly available information and informed by external experts. It will be updated periodically, as products advance or are known to drop out of development. Because this list is updated periodically, endnote numbers may not be sequential. In September 2017, the antibiotics pipeline was expanded to include products in development globally. Please contact [email protected] with additions or updates.

BSAC respiratory surveillance programme includes ceftobiprole since 2011. Materials/methods: Gram-negative pathogens causing HAP were collected as part of the BSAC respiratory surveillance programme between 2011-12 to 2016-17. In total 1290 Escherichia coli, 789 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 1059 Pseudomonas aeruginosa were tested using the BSAC agar dilution method and susceptibility determined according to EUCAST breakpoints. Results: Virtually all E. coli and K. pneumoniae tested were susceptible to meropenem whereas the other beta- lactams tested had similar in vitro efficacy with the exception of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Meropenem had the lowest susceptibility to P. aeruginosa followed by ceftobiprole, piperacillin/tazobactam and ceftazidime. K. P.

The newest generation has three representa- tives: ceftaroline fosamile, the combination ceftolozane/tazobactam (cephalosporin/beta-lactamase inhibitor), and ceftobi- prole medocaril. These new cephalosporins are valuable anti-infective agents, with potent activity against multidrug-re- sistant bacteria, and with a positive balance between benefits and side effects. However, the fifth-generation cephalosporins should be judiciously used to prevent the occurrence of bacterial resistance phenomenon.

Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob (2020) 19:9 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12941-020-00351-5 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials RESEARCH Open Access Ceftobiprole: a potential empirical post-operative monotherapy in prosthetic joint infections Claire Duployez1, Frédéric Wallet1, Henri Migaud2,4, Eric Senneville3,4 and Caroline Loiez1* Abstract Background: This study aimed to evaluate in vitro susceptibility to ceftobiprole of clinical strains identifed from prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) compared to that of the associations currently recommended for post-opera- tive empirical antibiotic therapy (PEAT) (vancomycin with either cefepime, third-generation cephalosporin or piperacillin–tazobactam). Methods: We performed a 1-year retrospective study on all the surgical procedures performed in our hospital for PJI. Susceptibility profles of all the strains cultured from surgical samples were reviewed to compare ceftobiprole to cur- rent used associations. Results: During the study period (from January 2018 to December 2018), we identifed 106 patients managed for PJI and a total of 216 surgical interventions. One hundred-ffty strains were identifed from intraoperative samples, excluding redundant strains. Staphylococcus spp. represented 52.7% of all strains and Enterobacteriales 13.3%. Twenty- three patients had polymicrobial infection (22%). Among 149 surgical procedures with positive culture results, cefto- biprole covered the bacterial strains in 138 (92.6%) cases. In comparison, this percentage was 94.6% for vancomycin plus cefepime (p 0.64), 92.6% for vancomycin plus a third-generation cephalosporin in 138 cases (p 1) and 94.6% for vancomycin plus= piperacillin–tazobactam) (p 0.64). = = Conclusion: Based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing, our results suggest that ceftobiprole could be an interest- ing option for PEAT in PJIs, allowing the use of a single agent.

  • Ceftobiprole-A Novel Cephalosporin to Combat MRSA
    Eastern Journal of Medicine 16 (2011) 1-8 M. W. Rizvi et al / Ceftobiprole- A novel cephalosporin Review Article Ceftobiprole-A novel cephalosporin to combat MRSA Mehnaz Waris Rizvi, Fatima Shujatullah*, Abida Malik, Haris M. Khan Department of Microbiology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh, India Abstract. Gram positive cocci are responsible for a large number of infections, involving the skin and skin structures, respiratory tract, bloodstream etc., both in the community as well as in the hospital settings. However, the recent emergence of multidrug resistant strains has compromised therapeutic options as well as made therapy less effective and costlier. As medicine continues to evolve to combat these pathogens, they always seem to be a step ahead of us. Vancomycin, the drug of choice for resistant strains of gram positive cocci, has also seen the development of bacteria resistant to it. The introduction of ceftobiprole, a novel fifth-generation cephalosporin, has brought with it new hope for combating these pathogens. It exerts its antibacterial effect by binding to the PBP (penicillin-binding protein), blocking formation of the bacterial cell wall and ultimately leading to cell lysis and death. It has also got a wide antibacterial spectrum covering many gram negative bacteria as well as anaerobes. Ceftobiprole has been evaluated in various clinical trials including the multicentric STRAUSS 1 and 2 trials, and the results have demonstrated favourable efficacy of ceftobiprole against gram positive cocci. Thus, although ceftobiprole provides us with another option in our battle against the microbes, its judicious use is imperative so that we do not run out of therapeutic options in the near future.
