Meropenem is a unique carbapenem antibiotic, effective against the bacteria affecting meningitis, having no confirmed convulsive influence, which causes it appropriate in the therapy of bacterial meningitis. Meropenem is more effective against gram-negative organisms than gram-positive pathogens. The clinical and laboratory practice in the therapy of bacterial meningitis with this antibiotic is evaluated within. It has been recognized that the effectiveness and security by meropenem in meningitis induced by N. meningitidis, H. influenzae, and pneumococci susceptible to penicillin may be related to that of cefotaxime in both children and adult population. There are quite a few statements on the therapy of meningitis originated by pneumococci immune to penicillin. It may currently be viewed that the chief implication of meropenem in the diseases of the central nervous system is in nosocomial meningitis by gram-negative bacilli categories like Klebsiella-Serratia-Enterobacter and Acinetobacter sp.
