Beta lactam antibiotics

1. Cephalosporins – Ceftriaxone (3rd generation cephalosporin)
2. Penicillins – Piperacillin, Amoxycillin 
3. Monobactam – Aztreonam
4. Carbapenems – Meropenem






Beta-lactamase inhibitor-

Beta-lactamase inhibitors are compounds that inhibit the action of beta-lactamase enzymes, which are produced by certain bacteria to inactivate beta-lactam antibiotics (like penicillins and cephalosporins). By inhibiting these enzymes, beta-lactamase inhibitors help restore the effectiveness of beta-lactam antibiotics against resistant bacteria.


Beta-lactamase inhibitors include-

1. Clavulanic acid: Often combined with amoxicillin

2. Sulbactam: Often combined with ampicillin 

3. Tazobactam: Often combined with piperacillin
