General description

Faropenem sodium hydrate belongs to the penem group of antibiotics prescribed for oral usage. Enterobacteriaceae bacterial infections with cephalosporin resistance are susceptible to faropenem. Faropenem could be an effective antibiotic to treat urinary tract infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) producing bacteria.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Faropenem sodium is an ultra-broad spectrum, β-lactamase resistant, β-lactam antibiotic active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
