Widely used in the treatment of bacterial infections, this compound is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is commonly administered in hospitals for severe infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, and septicemia. Its stability against many beta-lactamases makes it suitable for infections resistant to other antibiotics. Often combined with beta-lactamase inhibitors to enhance efficacy, it is delivered intravenously in clinical settings. Due to its potent bactericidal activity, it is reserved for moderate to severe infections where other antibiotics may fail.
