Biochem/physiol Actions

Meropenem has been used as a reference standard in an experiment conducted to investigate the effects on in vivo efficacy caused due to chemical differences in three generic products of meropenem.

Meropenem penetrates cell walls and binds to penicillin-binding protein targets. It acts against aerobes and anaerobes including E. coli, Klebsiella, Clostridium, Enterococcus sp. It is a common cause of mild transient aminotransferase elevations and can rarely result in clinically apparent, cholestatic liver injury.

Meropenem trihydrate is an ultra-broad spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

General description
