Used in the treatment of severe bacterial infections, particularly those caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Effective in hospital-acquired pneumonia, complicated intra-abdominal infections, and complicated urinary tract infections. Valued for its broad-spectrum activity and stability against many beta-lactamases, making it suitable for empiric therapy in critically ill patients. Administered intravenously in clinical settings where potent carbapenem-class antibiotics are required.
