Primary Outcome Measures:

Number of days from randomization to recovery from sepsis among those patients who survived the trial period
Endpoint considered in conjunction with observed mortality rates to determine whether any reduction in time to recovery from sepsis

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Number of days from randomization to ready to discharge from the ICU
Number of days from randomization until patient is discharged from the ICU
Number of days on first line antibiotic therapy
Number of days from randomization until patient is discharged from hospital
Proportion of patients who achieve clinical cure from sepsis following first line antibiotic therapy
Proportion of all patients who are ready to discharge from the ICU following antibiotic therapy
Mortality rate due to "all causes" in the meropenem group and the standard antibiotic therapy group
Mortality rate due to infection in the meropenem group and the standard antibiotic therapy group
Health Economics-Resource utilization for main treatment and diagnostic procedures, tools and materials
