Antibiotic resistance has emerged as major health related issue since last
two decades.The introduction of successive classes of antibiotics have
been made ineffective by bacteria by developing a variety of resistance
mechanisms.There have been growing epidemics of infections due to
gram negative bacteria especially from Enterobacteriaceae family, which
are resistant to many classes of antibiotics.1
β-lactam antimicrobial agents are the major group of antimicrobials used
for treatment of gram negative bacterial infections. Besides extended
spectrum penicillins and cephalosporins, the carbapenems have become
important options for medication especially in intensive care unit
patients.2 Carbapenems are agents with an exceptionally broad spectrum
of activity.3 Because of its stable nature against extended spectrum beta
lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC enzyme producing gram negative bacilli
including Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenems are used as a last resort
against many multi drug resistant gram negative bacteria. 4
