REVIEW Sulbactam sodium salt is a water soluble beta-lactamase inhibitor with very weak antibacterial action. This drug is given in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics to prevent destruction of the beta-lactam antibiotics by inhibiting beta-lactamases, thus extending their spectrum activity. Combinations of sulbactam with beta-lactam antibiotics have been used successfully for the therapy of infections caused by organisms resistant to the antibiotic alone. Sulbactam is an irreversible inhibitor of beta-lactamase; it binds to the enzyme and does not allow it to degrade the antibiotic.
