GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

beta-Lactamase inhibitor to increase antibiotic effectiveness; used in combination with penicillins (mainly amoxicillin) to treat infections caused by beta-lactamase–producing organisms. Beta-lactamase enzymes are produced by some bacteria and have resistance ability to beta-lactam antibiotics. These enzymes deactivate the antibacterial properties of beta-lactam antibiotics by opening the beta-lactam ring. Beta-lactamase inhibitors have little antimicrobial functions themselves and are combined with an actual beta-lactam antibiotic. Beta-lactamase inhibitors' function is to bind beta-lactamase enzymes to form an inactive molecule so that the actual beta-lactam antibiotic access to the bacterial wall which it destroys. Beta-lactamase inhibitors include clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam.
