Mechanism of Action

Sulbactam, a penicillanic acid sulfone with β-lactamase inhibitory properties has weak antibacterial activity, but is an irreversible inhibitor of many plasmid-mediated and some chromosomal β-lactamases. It has a similar spectrum of β-lactamase inhibition to clavulanic acid, although it is less potent. It enhances the activity of penicillins and cephalosporins. It is usually given with ampicillin to increase the antimicrobial spectrum; may also be used with cefoperazone. Absorption: Poorly absorbed from the GI tract.
