Imipenem: a new carbapenem antibiotic
Med Clin North Am.
1988 May.
Abstract
Imipenem is a new carbapenem antibiotic that has an extremely broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. It has been used to treat a variety of serious infections and an increasing volume of literature documents its value in infections due to multiresistant bacteria. This article reviews the antibacterial activity, pharmacology, and clinical uses of imipenem.
