| Main Objective: Penetration properties of different antibiotics into the brain of neurointensive care patients with bedside cerebral microdialysis and thus to optimize antimicrobial treatment for infections of the central nervous system.;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): The concentration-vs.-time profile of doripenem in brain tissue and plasma will be measured and the following pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters will be determined: AUC0-8, AUC0-12, AUC0-24, CL, Vd, tmax, AUC 0-inf, Cmax. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3 days | — |
