General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Tazobactam is an antibacterial penicillin derivative which inhibits the action of bacterial β-lactamases. It is used in combination with piperacillin and other β-lactam antibiotics to broaden their spectrum and enhance their effect. It is used for bacterial β-lactamase and penicillinase inhibition studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tazobactam is a β -Lactamase inhibitor. When used with β-lactam antibiotics I, it enhances their effect.

The CMY-2 beta-lactamase, a plasmid determined class C cephalosporinase, was shown to be susceptible to inhibition by tazobactam (K(i)=40 microM). The reaction product(s) of CMY-2 beta-lactamase with the beta-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam were analyzed by electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (ESI/MS) to characterize

MICs of piperacillin/tazobactam are conventionally determined by varying the concentration of piperacillin in the presence of a fixed 4 mg/L tazobactam. When tested in this way, the MIC distribution for Klebsiella isolates with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) is strongly bimodal, such

Recent studies have demonstrated highly variable blood concentrations of piperacillin, tazobactam, cefepime, meropenem, ciprofloxacin and linezolid in critically ill patients with a high incidence of sub-therapeutic levels. Consequently, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of these antibiotics has to be considered, requiring
