This is a study of safety and efficacy of ceftaroline fosamil in Subjects with
Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia or with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Bacteremia persisting after at least 72 hours of vancomycin and/or daptomycin treatment.

Subjects with either S. aureus bacteremia or persistent MRSA bacteremia will be treated with
open label ceftaroline fosamil, safety will be monitored and clearance of bacteremia will be
evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of bacteremia due solely to:

- S. aureus on at least 1 blood culture within 72 hours of beginning study drug
(Cohort A) OR

- MRSA on a baseline blood culture and on at least 1 additional blood culture

antibiotic with activity against S. aureus within 72 hours of positive blood culture
results.

2. For subjects in Cohort B: previous therapy for more than 48 hours with any parenteral
antibiotic with activity against MRSA, except vancomycin and/or daptomycin, within 72
hours of positive blood culture results confirming persistence.

3. Previous episode of S. aureus bacteremia within 3 months.

4. Known left-sided endocarditis or prosthetic heart valve.

5. Osteomyelitis or prosthetic joint infection except new onset nonhardware-associated
