Abstract
Piperacillin sodium is a beta lactam antibiotic with a broad range of antibacterial activity that includes gram‐negative bacilli, gram‐positive cocci (except penicillinase‐producing S. aureus) and anaerobic pathogens such as Clostridium difficile, and Bacteroides fragilis. Piperacillin inhibits many of the members of the Enterobacteriaceae, including Klebsiella sp and Pseudomonas, at lower concentrations than required for carbenicillin and ticarcillin.
