Often used in combination with other antibiotics to improve anaerobic coverage; avoid alcohol: often combined with metronidazole to improve anaerobic coverage: Meropenem (Merrem IV), 1 g IV
Anaerobic coverage: Excellent (but doesn't cover C. difficile). spectrum: ertapenem. Main differences compared to meropenem: 1) Lacks coverage
Imipenem, Meropenem, Metronidazole, Moxifloxacin, Piperacillin Double anaerobic coverage is the use of any combination of the above agents, which is.

Pro: anaerobic coverage. Con: does not penetrate CNS. Cefepime 2g IV q8h. Pro Meropenem 1g IV q8h instead of Zosyn or cefepime. meropenem is ONLY
Ciprofloxacin 400 mg IV. Q12H. /- Metronidazole. 500 mg IV Q8H. Meropenem 1gm Q8H. Piperacillin/tazobactam provides excellent anaerobic coverage, addition of
Additional antimicrobial coverage is required For anaerobic bacteria, the susceptibility to meropenem as MICs should be determined by.
Indications and dose For meropenem Aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative infections, Hospital-acquired septicaemia for meropenem By intravenous infusion, or by intravenous injection
Fluoroquinolones - Ciprofloxacin (~70% coverage) Levofloxacin (~65%), NOT ANTIBIOTICS WITH ANAEROBE COVERAGE. Infections in which anaerobes are
