Overview

This designation refers to the active comparator treatment regimens used in pediatric clinical trials for ceftaroline fosamil (Teflaro), specifically for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). The regimen consists of either vancomycin (a glycopeptide antibiotic) or cefazolin (a first-generation cephalosporin), with or without the addition of aztreonam (a monobactam). Vancomycin is typically utilized to provide coverage against methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA), while cefazolin is used for methicillin-susceptible strains. Aztreonam is added when coverage for Gram-negative pathogens is suspected or confirmed. These drugs work by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through distinct mechanisms: vancomycin binds to the D-alanyl-D-alanine C-terminus of peptidoglycan precursors, while cefazolin and aztreonam inhibit penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).
