How does a beta-lactamase inhibitor agent achieve a therapeutic effect?
A)It extends the spectrum of antibacterial activity of penicillin. B)It extends the spectrum of the beta-lactamase inhibitor. C)It decreases the side effects of high-dose penicillin. D)It increases the absorption of the penicillin. Title: A patient is administered Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium) to treat otitis media. ...

Feedback: When combined with a penicillin, the beta-lactamase inhibitor protects the penicillin from destruction by the enzymes and extends the penicillin's spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Augmentin does not extend the spectrum of beta-lactamase inhibitor. Augmentin does not decrease the side effects of high-dose penicillin. Augmentin does not increase the absorption of penicillin. |
