General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards. Imipenem belongs to the class of carbapenems, a beta-lactam antibiotic, effective against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Carbapenems act by inhibiting the peptidoglycan synthesis involved in bacterial cell wall formation, thus causing the death of the target microorganism.

Application

Imipenem may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in biological samples and pharmaceutical formulations by various analytical techniques.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Imipenem monohydrate is a broad spectrum B-lactam antibiotic.
Imipenem monohydrate is a broad spectrum B-lactam antibiotic. It is a member of the carbapenem class of "magic bullet" antibiotics for severe infections.

Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP and EP primary standards, where they are available.

Other Notes

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains cause life-threatening infections due to the lack of therapeutic options. Although the main mechanisms underlying antibiotic-resistance have been extensively studied, the general response to maintain bacterial viability under antibiotic exposure deserves to be fully investigated.

Poor penetration through the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is a major barrier of antibiotic development. While β-lactam antibiotics are commonly used against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae, there are limited data on OM permeability especially in K. pneumoniae

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) have been a challenging concern of health-care associated infections. The aim of the current study was to investigate the molecular epidemiology and clonal dissemination of CRAB isolates in a Chinese teaching hospital. Non-duplicate clinical A. baumannii
