Clavulanic Acid Potassium w/ Cellulose (1:1)

Clavulanic acid potassium (clavulanate potassium) is a β-lactamase inhibitor isolated from Streptomyces clavuligerus, which irreversibly inactivates β-lactamase enzymes of β-lactam resistant organisms. This prevents these organisms from degrading β-lactam antibiotics. Clavulanic acid can be combined with antibiotics to increase their potency and is often combined with amoxicillin.
