A fact from Ceftaroline fosamil appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 October 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know
- ... that ceftaroline is a novel antibiotic against MRSA and other resistant bacterial strains and is under clinical trial as a treatment for infectious diseases such as community-acquired pneumonia?
A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/October.

Looking at the data in the DrugBox some of it appears to be for the acetate salt but this does not match the structure in the image. The InChI and SMILES currently match the image. It would be good to clarify whether the acetate should be included or not. --The chemistds (talk) 21:23, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spectrum of activity - sources

This statement: "It retains the activity of later-generation cephalosporins having broad-spectrum activity against Gram-negative bacteria" MUST be sourced. From my understanding, ceftaroline specifically was not effective against Gram negative organisms. However, if you have evidence to dispute that, then please make an edit. Thank you so much!
