Good news for those suffering with diabetic foot infections...and the ability to treat the predominant staph associated bacteria...BD
Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. announced results from a Phase III trial that showed that investigational antibiotic ceftobiprole was found to clinically cure 86% of patients with diabetic foot infections -- including some infections that were caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These data were presented at the 45th annual meeting of the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) in San Diego, California. Ceftobiprole is licensed from, and is being co-developed with, Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd.
"Diabetic foot infections are becoming increasingly difficult to treat," said study author, Gary J. Noel, M.D., Franchise Medical Leader, Anti- Infectives, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. "These data suggest that ceftobiprole may be useful as stand-alone therapy for this increasingly common type of complicated skin infection."
