Pharmacokinetics of single-dose ceftaroline fosamil in children with cystic fibrosis.

Since children with CF have increased ceftaroline CL compared with published data from non-CF children; greater dosages may be required in children with CF to achieve adequate exposure in the treatment of MRSA pneumonia. Pharmacodynamic-based dosing predicts that dosing should also be based on the patient's MRSA MIC.
