Product Information

• Name: Ampicillin-sulbactam
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ampicillin-sulbactam is a combination antibiotic, which is a pharmaceutical product derived from the penicillin class of beta-lactam antibiotics. Its source involves semi-synthetic processes, combining ampicillin with sulbactam. The mode of action of this compound is through the inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Ampicillin specifically binds to penicillin-binding proteins, thereby disrupting the cross-linking process essential for maintaining cell wall structural integrity, leading to bacterial lysis. Sulbactam functions as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, enhancing the efficacy of ampicillin by preventing its degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain resistant bacterial strains.
