Abstract

Imipenem/cilastatin sodium (IPM/CS) which is a broad-spectrum agent against both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria was used in combination with fosfomycin (FOM) as a second-line chemotherapy for severe infections associated with hematologic disorders. FOM was partnered with IPM because FOM may enhance the bacteriocidal effects of IPM when given as pretreatment to IPM/CS therapy.
