• 4. The subject will be observed in the hospital for at least 6 hours after the study drug is administered;
• 5. If female and has reached menarche, or has reached Tanner Stage 3 breast development (even if not having reached menarche), the subject is practicing appropriate birth control or is sexually abstinent;
• 6. Sufficient intravascular access (peripheral or central) to receive study drug.
• 1. Signs of severe sepsis including:
• 1. Shock or profound hypotension that is not responsive to fluid challenge;
• 2. Hypothermia (core temperature \< 35.6 ºC or 96.1 ºF);
• 3. Disseminated intravascular coagulation as evidenced by prothrombin time or partial thromboplastin time ≥ 2X the ULN or platelets \< 50% of the lower limit of normal;
• 2. Any surgical or medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the subject at increased risk or is likely to interfere with study procedures or PK of the study drug;
• 3. Females who are of childbearing potential and unwilling to practice abstinence or use at least two methods of contraception (oral contraceptives, barrier methods, approved contraceptive implant) during the entire study period;

• 13. Prior exposure to vaborbactam or Vabomere;
• 14. Use of meropenem within 48 hours of administration of study drug or 12 hours after study drug administration;
• 15. Known significant hypersensitivity to any beta-lactam antibiotic;
• 16. Unable or unwilling in the judgment of the Investigator, to comply with the protocol;
