Imipenem and cilastatin sodium is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic combination effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Imipenem, the active antibiotic, exhibits rapid bactericidal activity, while cilastatin acts as a renal dehydropeptidase inhibitor, preventing the renal metabolism of imipenem and enhancing its urinary concentration. This combination is commonly utilized in research settings to study antibiotic efficacy and resistance mechanisms.
