Class: Beta-lactam (carbapenem)
| Spectrum of activity: | Gram-positive & Gram-negative | 
| Details of activity: | Binds to bacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) and interferes with bacterial cell wall integrity and synthesis. Carbapenems bind to all PBPs, with PBP2 and PBP4 as the highest-affinity targets. Carbapenems have a very broad spectrum incl. non-fermenters and are not hydrolysed by most beta-lactamases with exception of carbapenemases | 
| Description: | Semisynthetic, derived from thienamycin, closely related to imipenem. Combined with betamipron to prevent degradation of panipenem by the renal enzyme dehydropeptidase 1; available in Japan |
