Clavulanate Lithium(Cat No.:R023387)is a potent β-lactamase inhibitor commonly used in combination with β-lactam antibiotics to enhance their effectiveness against resistant bacteria. It works by irreversibly binding to β-lactamase enzymes, which typically degrade β-lactam antibiotics, thus protecting the antibiotic from enzymatic destruction. This combination therapy is vital for treating infections caused by β-lactamase-producing microorganisms. Clavulanate Lithium plays a crucial role in extending the spectrum of β-lactam antibiotics, providing an effective treatment option for various bacterial infections, particularly those resistant to standard therapy.
