This is an open-label, single center, prospective study of patients with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) and a history of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), also known as oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA), being treated with intravenous ceftaroline. Patients will have intravenous ceftaroline dosed according to current recommendations based upon its approved usage in pediatric patients for community acquired pneumonia. The investigators will analyze pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data using serum concentrations of ceftaroline measured at various time-points following infusion of ceftaroline to develop PK/PD guided dosing strategies of ceftaroline in pediatric CF patients that would be tailored to account for bacterial susceptibility and disease progression.
