Brief summary
The purpose of this research study is to measure the levels of ceftobiprole in the blood and urine during and after administration of four doses of ceftobiprole. Safety of the drug will also be evaluated.
Detailed description
Patients will receive an intravenous dose of ceftobiprole infused over 4 hours. Multiple blood samples will be obtained to determine the concentration of ceftobiprole in the plasma. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as clearance and volume of distribution will be calculated. 1000mg every 8hours or every 12 hours
Interventions
Ceftobiprole, 1G q12h as 4 hour infusions, on Day 1 and Ceftobiprole, 1G as single 4 hour infusion on Day 2
Ceftobiprole, 1G q8h as 4 hour infusions, on Day 1 and Ceftobiprole, 1G as single 4 hour infusion on Day 2
