Abstract excerpt
Avibactam is a novel non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor being developed in combination with ceftazidime, ceftaroline and aztreonam for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. Avibactam protects the antibacterial activity of these antibiotics by inhibiting Ambler classes A and C and some class D β-lactamases. The Gram-negative cell envelope presents a complex barrier to hydrophilic solutes...
