Ceftaroline fosamil

Patients will receive 600 mg of ceftaroline fosamil administered as a 120-minute intravenous infusion very 8 hours. Each dose will be infused in a volume of 250 mL over 120-minutes followed by aztreonam placebo in a volume of 100 mL infused over 30 minutes every 8 hours. In addition vancomycin placebo will be given in a volume of 250 mL infused over 120 minutes every 12 hours. Doses will be adjusted according to the patient's renal function.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ceftaroline fosamil

Intervention Type DRUG

IV ceftaroline 600mg every 8 hours

Vancomycin plus aztreonam

Patients will receive combination of vancomycin plus aztreonam. Dose of vancomycin will be based on the patient's actual weight and will receive intravenous vancomycin every 12 hours with each dose infused over 120-minutes. Aztreonam dose will be 1 gram intravenously in a volume of 100 mL infused over 30 minutes every 8 hours. In addition, ceftaroline fosamil placebo will be given in a volume of 250 mL infused over 120 minutes every 8 hours. Doses adjusted according to patients renal function
