Carbapenems
Step-by-step explanation:
Carbapenems are bactericidal beta-lactam antibiotics that bind to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs)
By binding and inactivating these proteins, carbapenems inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which leads to cell death
Each carbapenem has its own affinity to specific sub-types of PBPs whereas some bacteria demonstrate intrinsic resistance to the carbapenems
Generally, carbapenems work against various Gram-positive bacteria where they exhibit low minimum inhibitory concentrations on organisms like methicillin-susceptible S. aureus and S. pneumoniae
Carbapenems also have good activity against most Gram-negative bacteria, including Enterobacter, E. coli
