A broad spectrum antibiotic that has a high affinity for cell wall-synthesizing enzymes. It is a beta-lactam and belongs to the subgroup of carbapenem. The spectrum of action includes many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (including Pseudomonas) and anaerobic bacteria. Konagaya et al. note the successful elimination of Agrobacterium from Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar) cultures using a concentration of 10mg/L of Meropenem without observing phytotoxic effects.
