Information about Sulbactam
Sulbactam Uses
Sulbactam is used in the treatment of severe bacterial infections. It treats severe bacterial infections (most commonly pneumonia, bacteremia and skin and skin structure infections) caused by the pathogen Acinetobacter baumanii.
How Sulbactam works
Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It works by blocking an enzyme called beta lactamase produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics.
