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
