Save Meropenem/Vaborbactam for Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae

Meropenem/vaborbactam (Vabomere, VAY-boh-meer) will be the first antibiotic to combine a carbapenem with a beta-lactamase inhibitor.

Adding the beta-lactamase inhibitor vaborbactam helps meropenem outsmart carbapenem-resistant superbugs, which cause about 9,000 infections in the U.S. each year.

Meropenem/vaborbactam is approved to treat complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), including pyelonephritis. Early evidence suggests it's also effective for bacteremia, pneumonia, and intra-abdominal infections.
