Safety and Tolerability of Ertapenem Sodium in the Treatment of Complicated Urinary Tract Infections
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ertapenem sodium (Invanz) in treatment of complicated urinary tract infections with respect to the proportion of patients with a favorable microbiological response at 5-9 days post therapy.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Sodium Acetate
The trihydrate sodium salt of acetic acid, which is used as a source of sodium ions in solutions for dialysis and as a systemic and urinary alkalizer, diuretic, and expectorant.
Sodium, Dietary
Sodium or sodium compounds used in foods or as a food. The most frequently used compounds are sodium chloride or sodium glutamate.
Sodium Lactate
The sodium salt of racemic or inactive lactic acid. It is a hygroscopic agent used intravenously as a systemic and urinary alkalizer.
Nav1.5 Voltage-gated Sodium Channel
A voltage-gated sodium channel subtype that mediates the sodium ion PERMEABILITY of CARDIOMYOCYTES. Defects in the SCN5A gene, which codes for the alpha subunit of this sodium channel, are associated with a variety of CARDIAC DISEASES that result from loss of sodium channel function.
Sodium Isotopes
Stable sodium atoms that have the same atomic number as the element sodium, but differ in atomic weight. Na-23 is a stable sodium isotope.
