Clavulanic acid, Z-(2R,5R)-3-(.beta.-hydroxyethylidene)-7-oxo-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo-[3,2,0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid, was shown to be an effective inhibitor of the .beta.-lactamases of the Richmond types II, III, IV and V. Inhibition is a time-dependent reaction and is irreversible. Clavulanic acid had poor antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with minimal inhibitory levels greater than 25 .mu.g/ml. It did inhibit the majority of Neisseria gonorrhoeae at 0.1 .mu.g/ml and Haemophilus influenzae at 6.3 .mu.g/ml. Clavulanic acid acted synergistically with penicillins and cephalosporins to inhibit .beta.-lactamase-producing S. aureus and Enterobacteriaceae. Clavulanic acid combined with ampicillin inhibited .beta.-lactamase-producing N. gonorrhoeae, H. influenzae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Shigella sonnei.
