These beta-lactamase enzymes make many, if not all, of the penicillins and cephalosporins ineffective as therapy. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase–producing...

Sulbactam is a β-lactamase inhibitor. This drug is given in combination with β-lactam antibiotics to inhibit β-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria...

Enmetazobactam (AAI-101) is an antibiotic adjuvant drug which acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, preventing the breakdown of other antibiotic drugs. Cefepime...
