General description
Potassium clavulanate is an oxapenam derivative and belongs to the group of β-lactamase inhibitors. It is used in combination with the penicillin group of antibiotics to give them resistance to β-lactamase.
Application
The analytical standard can be used as follows:
- Simultaneous analysis of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium in pharmaceutical formulations by capillary electrophoresis (CE) combined with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D)
- Development of a stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method combined with mass spectrometry (MS) to measure amoxicillin, clavulanate potassium, and their impurities in their combined dosage forms
- Residue analysis of potassium clavulanate and amoxicillin trihydrate by a UV spectrophotometric method in their bulk, combined tablet formulations, and human urine samples
- HPLC method-based determination of meropenem and potassium clavulanate in the presence of their degradation impurities in intravenous solutions in combination with a diode array detector (DAD)
- Determination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) in their combined commercial formulations
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-lactamase inhibitor, typically added to amoxicillin to increase its effectiveness.

Studies have shown that multiple genes influence antibiotic susceptibility, but the relationship between genotypic and phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility is unclear. We sought to analyze the concordance between the presence of antibiotic resistance (ABR) genes and antibiotic susceptibility results in urine

The global emergence and spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae have been threatening the ability to treat an infection. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of ESBL-producing and multi-drug resistance (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae (ESBLs-E) from different clinical specimens
