Beta-lactam ring-containing compounds such as penicillins, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cephalosporins and carbapenems are among the most famous antibiotics. This article reviews the recent developments in study of cephems, oxacephems, penams and sulbactam. Many of the compounds reviewed have potential antibacterial activity

beta-Lactamase inhibitors such as sulbactam are beta-lactam compounds that have low antimicrobial activity but are able to inhibit enzymes (beta-lactamases) that destroy beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillins and cephalosporins. The main activity of beta-lactamase inhibitors is directed against plasmid-mediated transferable enzymes

Sulbactam irreversibly inhibits the hydrolytic activity of beta-lactamases. This compound is commercially available in combination with either ampicillin or cefoperazone. In each instance, the activity of the partner antibiotic against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria is restored. One of the particular advantages of

A number of studies have reported on the effectiveness of sulbactam-based therapies for Acinetobacter baumannii infection; however, there is little evidence that sulbactam-based therapies are more or less effective than alternative therapies. Unfortunately, there is a distinct lack of high
Amoxicillin/sulbactam is a modern antimicrobial combination. This combination proved to be useful for the treatment of several infections caused by different microorganisms, mainly with the beta-lactamase-producing species. In this review we present the most relevant pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and clinical information
