APPLICATIONS

Sulbactam, a derivative of the basic penicillin nucleus, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Chemical designation is (2S, 5R)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0] heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide. It is used to increase the antibacterial spectrum of penicillins and cephalosporins against penicillinase-producing and beta-lactamase–producing organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, H. flu, Moraxella catarrhalis that are resistant to ampicillin alone. Sulbactam does not improve enterococcal activity of ampicillin. Aampicillin/Gentamicin combination is used for the treatment of enterococcal infection. Sultamicillin is the combination of ampicillin and sulbactam. Sultamicillin is a white to off-white crystalline powder; soluble in aqueous diluents to yield reconstitution of ampicillin and sulbactam.
