aztreonam and Aging

aztreonam has been researched along with Aging in 2 studies

Aztreonam: A monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic originally isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum. It is resistant to beta-lactamases and is used in gram-negative infections, especially of the meninges, bladder, and kidneys. It may cause a superinfection with gram-positive organisms.
aztreonam : A synthetic monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic (monobactam), used primarily to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. It inhibits mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall, thereby blocking peptidoglycan crosslinking.

Aging: The gradual irreversible changes in structure and function of an organism that occur as a result of the passage of time.

"Aztreonam (30 mg/kg of body weight) was administered intravenously over 3 min every 12 h to 30 preterm neonates divided into two groups according to gestational age (mean age for group A was less than 30 weeks and mean age for group B was greater than 30 weeks) and birth weight (mean weight for group A was less than 1,500 g and mean weight for group B was greater than 1,500 g)."3.68Pharmacokinetics and renal tolerance of aztreonam in premature infants.
