Stability of meropenem in portable elastomeric infusion devices: which protocol should be implemented in clinical practice?

ABSTRACT Meropenem has an excellent activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including multi-resistant microorganisms. Even though meropenem is a great candidate for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT), its physicochemical stability is a major challenge. This work ai...
