| Aztreonam and Avibactam |
Aztreonam inhibits bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall synthesis following binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which leads to bacterial cell lysis and death. Avibactam is a non β-lactam, β-lactamase inhibitor that acts by forming a covalent adduct with the enzyme that is stable to hydrolysis. Avibactam inhibits both Ambler class A and class C β-lactamases and some class D enzymes, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) and OXA-48 carbapenemases, and AmpC enzymes. |
