Antibiotic of the carbapenem class. Meropenem is relatively more stable to dehydropeptidase-I than imipenem. It produces a bactericidal effect by inhibiting synthesis of bacterial cell wall. It has a binding affinity to penicillin-binding proteins (PBSs). It is active against most of aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Xanthomonas maltophilia, Enterococcus faecium, and methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus spp. are resistant to meropenem.
It is resistant to beta-lactamases.
