Abstract : Ceftobiprole exhibited tight binding to PBP2a in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, PBP2x in penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, and PBP3 and other essential penicillin-binding proteins in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ceftobiprole also bound well to PBP2 in the latter organisms, contributing to the broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.
