Vaborbactam
Vaborbactam is a cyclic boronic acid beta-lactamase inhibitor that covalently and reversibly binds to serine-beta-lactamases, including Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) and other class A and C beta-lactamases, restoring the activity of meropenem against carbapenem-resistant organisms. It is used in combination with meropenem (Vabomere) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections caused by susceptible gram-negative bacteria. It does not inhibit metallo-beta-lactamases.
