 Use of Imipenem


Imipenem (N-Formimidoyl thienamycin, MK0787), a stable crystalline derivative of thienamycin, is an antibiotic and has the excellent activity against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Imipenem (N-Formimidoyl thienamycin, MK0787) can be used for carbapenem-nonsusceptible and P. aeruginosa biofilm infections [1][2][3].
