Supplier:  Apexbio Technology LLC A51245.1

Meropenem is a broad-spectrum -lactam antibiotic within the carbapenem subclass characterized by bactericidal activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms It primarily acts by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) mainly PBP2 of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and PBP1 of Staphylococcus aureus thus disrupting cell wall synthesis and bacterial growth In vitro studies indicate Meropenem inhibition is effective at MIC 4 mg/L (susceptible strains) intermediate at 8 mg/L and resistant at 16 mg/L Meropenem demonstrates greater potency against gram-negative bacteria compared to Imipenem with typical IC50 values around 0 25 mg/L for anaerobic strains It is typically used in microbiological research to investigate antibiotic susceptibility bacterial resistance mechanisms and interactions with drug metabolism
