Biological Activity
|
β-lactam |
Clavulanate lithium has weak antibacterial activity against most organisms when administered alone, but given in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics prevents antibiotic inactivation by microbial lactamase[1].
Clavulanate lithium (0.25, 0.5 mg/L) causes a relatively slow inhibition of growth, and a higher concentration (1 mg/L) is only marginally more effective than 0.5 mg/L[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
