Addition of ceftaroline fosamil or vancomycin to PMMA: An in vitro comparison of biomechanical properties and anti-MRSA efficacy
Background: Ceftaroline is a cephalosporin that is effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of using ceftaroline-loaded Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as antibiotic cement against MRSA versus vancomy...
