Antibiotic resistance is the most common threat that the infectious diseases specialists need to deal with. The emergence of different multi antibiotic resistant infectious strains are threatening the treatment approaches. 

Complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTIs) typically involve deep soft tissues. It is mostly observed in patients with underlying disease and it often requires intravenous antibiotic therapy, surgical intervention, or both. The situation of cSSTIs becomes worse when it is accompanied by MRSA infection.

Fifth generation cephalosporin, Ceftobiprole. possesses anti-pseudomonal activity and appears to be less susceptible to development of resistance. Further, it can also treat infections that are resistant to other antibiotics, including MRSA infections.
