Potassium clavulanate is a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor, which, in combination, expands the spectrum of amoxicillin to include many amoxicillin-resistant organisms. Potassium clavulanate is excreted 30-50 percent unchanged renally and its plasma time-course parallels that of amoxicillin. Several studies suggest that
