Used in the treatment of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. Effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including anaerobes. Commonly prescribed for respiratory, urinary tract, intra-abdominal, and gynecological infections when other antibiotics are ineffective. Often reserved for hospital settings due to its potency and to prevent resistance development. Administered intravenously as part of severe infection management protocols.
