sulbactam
sul·bac·tam S5941675 (sŭl-băk′tăm)n. A compound, C8H11NO5S, that inhibits action of the enzyme beta-lactamase, thus counteracting bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. It is used in its sodium form in combination with antibiotics such as amoxicillin to treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
[sul-, of unknown origin + -bactam, suffix for inhibitors of beta-lactamase; see tazobactam.]EncyclopediaSeeampicillinsulbactam
sulbactam [sul-bak´tam] a β-lactamase inhibitor used as the sodium salt to increase the antibacterial activity of penicillins and cephalosporins against β-lactamase–producing organisms.sul·bac·tam (sŭl-bak'tam), A β-lactamase inhibitor with weak antibacterial action; when used in conjunction with penicillins (for example, ampicillin) with little β-lactamase-inhibiting action, it greatly increases their effectiveness against organisms that would ordinarily not be susceptible.sulbactam (sŭl-băk′tăm)n.
