What does it do?

Sulbactam is a component of the beta-lactamase inhibitor class that inhibits an enzyme called beta-lactamase. It is mainly used in conjunction with penicillin antibiotics to improve therapeutic effects against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Sulbactam blocks the beta-lactamase enzyme produced by bacteria, preventing the breakdown of antibiotics. This helps antibiotics effectively attack the bacteria.
