| Spread of novel expanded-spectrum [beta]-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae in a university hospital in the Paris area, France. In three separate surveillance studies (E-0112, E-0115, E-0117) ceftobiprole was amongst the most potent cephalosporins against Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas -- the most common Gram-negative bacterial pathogens associated with hospital-acquired infections -- explained in part by its enhanced affinity for the penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2) in pseudomonads (C1-0933). Conventional culture and speciation techniques tell us that the organisms typically associated with CSOM are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterobacteriaceae spp. |
