Cefoperazone Sodium/Sulbactam Sodium (2:1) (Syn: Sulperazon) is a sterile homogeneous mixture of two parts Cefoperazone Sodium and one part Sulbactam Sodium by weight. It was developed in response to the β-lactamase challenge, due to the apperance of organisms resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. Cefoperazone is a β-lactam antibiotic, and Sulfactam is a β-lactamase inhibitor, which helps prevent bacteria from hydrolyzing the cefoperazone and thus restore the usefulness of the compound. This product is frequently used against the bacteria causing respiratory and urinary tract infections.
