Abstract
- Treatment of late-onset neonatal staphylococcal sepsis is sometimes challenging with feared side effects of vancomycin, increasing minimal inhibitory concentrations and questions about catheter management. In case of failure, ceftaroline was administered as a compassionate treatment in 16 infants (gestational age of less than 32 weeks and less than 28 postnatal days), whose first-line treatment failed. We report 11 successes and no severe adverse drug reactions. Larger data are required to confirm these encouraging results.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have no funding or conflicts of interest to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
