Biochem/physiol Actions

Clavulanic acid is an orally available and potent mechanism-based β-lactamase inhibitor. In combination with β-lactam antibiotic clavulanic acid can overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria that produce β-lactamase. Clavulanic acid is produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus.
