The postantibiotic effect (PAE) of tomopenem was determined aftera 2 h exposure of two strains of meticillin-susceptible and meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA), and imipenem-susceptibleand imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to tenfold the respectiveMIC. The PAEs on MSSA and P. aeruginosa were approximately 1 hand they were comparable to those of meropenem. The PAE on MRSA was 1.5 to3 h, equal to or longer than those of vancomycin. The PAEs of tomopenemnot only were found for MRSA, but also were present in the imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa tested.
