                                        Comment: Sulbactam is a β-lactamase inhibitor that is used to limit degradation of β-lactam antibacterials. Its synergy with β-lactam antibacterials against some multiply drug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas species is reported to be inconsistent, likely as it cannot inhibit the AmpC cephalosporinase expressed by these species [1].
