Meropenem, sold under the brand name Merrem among others, is an intravenous carbapenem antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. [3] Some of these include meningitis, intra-abdominal infection, pneumonia, sepsis, and anthrax.
Meropenem/vaborbactam retains activity also against strains producing KPC mutants that confer resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam (e.g., KPC-8, KPC-31). The activity of meropenem/vaborbactam against P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii was found to be similar to that of meropenem alone. In fact, in these species, meropenem resistance is largely ...
One specific study showed a higher rate of carbapenem resistance when using meropenem alone compared with combination therapy with moxifloxacin. [52] In addition, several drugs were tested to gauge their effectiveness against CRE infections.
Meropenem is somewhat less potent than imipenem against gram-positive pathogens, and somewhat more potent against gram-negative infections. Unlike imipenem, which produced an unacceptable rate of seizures in a phase 2 trial, meropenem is effective for the treatment of bacterial meningitis. [ 24 ]
Largest-ever Ozempic and GLP-1 drug study finds they lower risk of 42 health conditions, including heart attacks and Alzheimer’s disease. Carolyn Barber. Updated January 21, 2025 at 3:27 PM.
The study, which was published in Nature Medicine on January 20, analyzed data from more than 2 million people with diabetes who took GLP-1 receptor agonist medications like Ozempic and Wegovy.
The drug — the brand name for the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide — “significantly reduced weekly alcohol craving,” according to a study published Wednesday, Feb. 12, in the Journal of the ...
This is a list of common β-lactam antibiotics—both administered drugs and those not in clinical use—organized by structural class. Antibiotics are listed alphabetically within their class or subclass by their nonproprietary name. If an antibiotic is a combination drug, both ingredients will be listed.
