D015780 Carbapenems A group of beta-lactam antibiotics in which the sulfur atom in the thiazolidine ring of the penicillin molecule is replaced by a carbon atom.

D016470 Bacteremia The presence of viable bacteria circulating in the blood. Fever, chills, tachycardia, and tachypnea are common acute manifestations of bacteremia. The majority of cases are seen in already hospitalized patients, most of whom have underlying diseases or procedures which render their bloodstreams susceptible to invasion. Bacteremias
D018440 beta-Lactam Resistance Nonsusceptibility of bacteria to the action of the beta-lactam antibiotics. Mechanisms responsible for beta-lactam resistance may be degradation of antibiotics by BETA-LACTAMASES, failure of antibiotics to penetrate, or low-affinity binding of antibiotics to targets. beta-Lactam Resistant,beta-Lactamase Resistance,beta-Lactamase Resistant,Resistance, beta-Lactamase,Resistant, beta-Lactamase,beta Lactam Resistance,beta Lactam Resistant,beta Lactamase Resistance,beta Lactamase Resistant
