Carbenicillin

Carbenicillin, or carboxybenzylpenicillin, is a broad-spectrum beta-lactam-based antibiotic and is a derivative of penicillin. It is used for infections of the urinary tract. The most useful aspect of this drug is its antipseudomonal and antiproteal activity, but is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections in the urinary tract from bacteria including E. coli, Enterobacter species, Enterococci, Morganella morganii, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas and [[{Providencia rettgeri]].
