Comparison of the Effectiveness of Ceftobiprole and Vancomycin in a Rabbit Model of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus-</i>Induced Meningitis

Nosocomial meningitis may occur after procedures affecting the central nervous system or following traumatic injury. The causative infectious organism is commonly Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram-positive bacterium. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of two antibacterial agents, ceftobiprole and vancomycin, in an animal model of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) meningitis.
