Active Ingredient Description
Cefepime

Cefepime is a broad-spectrum, bactericidal antibiotic, with activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many strains resistant to aminoglycosides or third generation cephalosporins. It has a reduced affinity for beta-lactamases.

Cefepime and Enmetazobactam

Cefepime exerts bactericidal activity by inhibiting peptidoglycan cell wall synthesis as a result of binding to and inhibition of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Enmetazobactam is a penicillanic acid sulfone beta-lactamase inhibitor structurally related to penicillin. Enmetazobactam binds to β-lactamases and prevents the hydrolysis of cefepime. It is active against class A ESBLs.
