Meropenem（Cat No.:A000590）is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including those caused by Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. Meropenem is commonly prescribed for severe infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. Due to its potent action and stability against beta-lactamase enzymes, it is effective against many drug-resistant pathogens. It is administered intravenously and typically reserved for hospital use in critically ill patients to avoid resistance development.
