Cefilavancin (TD-1792) is an experimental antibiotic medication developed for the treatment of bacterial infections such as drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. It is a prodrug which is also a codrug, injected intravenously and then cleaved inside the body to two active components, one of which is a modified form of vancomycin and the other a cephalosporin antibiotic. In clinical trials cefilavancin has shown similar efficacy with reduced side effects compared to vancomycin itself.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
