About Sulbactam.

Sulbactam is a specific chemical active ingredient and beta-lactamase inhibitor rather than an independent therapeutic drug class.

It functions primarily by irreversibly binding to and inactivating bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes, thereby protecting co-administered beta-lactam antibiotics from enzymatic degradation, while also exerting direct, intrinsic antibacterial activity against certain organisms such as *Acinetobacter baumannii*.

Co-formulated in therapeutic combinations such as ampicillin-sulbactam and sulbactam-durlobactam, it is indicated for the treatment of serious bacterial infections, including hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, skin and skin structure infections, and gynecologic infections caused by susceptible pathogens.
