Double bond leading to
high ring strain and an increase
in b-lactam ring reactivity
Carbapenam nucleus
•Isolated from Streptomyces cattleya
•Potent and wide range of activity vs Gram +ve and Gram -ve bacteria
•Active vs. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
•Low toxicity
•High resistance to b-lactamases
•Poor stability in solution (ten times less stable than Pen G)

•Monocyclic b-lactam ring
•Moderately active in vitro vs narrow group of Gram -ve bacteria
•Active vs. Pseusomonas aeruginosa
•Inactive vs. Gram +ve bacteria
•Different spectrum of activity from penicillins
•Thought to operate by a different mechanism from penicillins
•Low toxicity

•Administered by intravenous injection

•No activity vs. Gram +ve or anaerobic bacteria
•Active vs. Gram -ve aerobic bacteria

b-Lactam
Oxazolidine ring
•Isolated from Streptomyces clavuligerus
•Weak, unimportant antibacterial activity
•Powerful irreversible inhibitor of b-lactamases –
suicide substrate
•Used as a sentry drug for ampicillin
•Augmentin = ampicillin + clavulanic acid
•Allows less ampicillin per dose and an increased
activity spectrum
•Timentin = ticarcillin + clavulanic acid

Tazobactam
•Suicide substrates for b-lactamase enzymes
•Sulbactam has a broader spectrum of activity vs b-lactamases than clavulanic acid, but is
less potent
•Unasyn = ampicillin + sulbactam
•Tazobactam has a broader spectrum of activity vs b-lactamases than clavulanic acid, and
has similar potency
•Tazocin or Zosyn = piperacillin + tazobactam
