Cefixime comes under beta lactum antibiotic category and gets degrade inpresence of beta lactumase enzyme, bacterias have developed resistance against cefixime by producing beta lactamase and ESBLs. Clavulanic acid is an irreversible inhibitor of beta lactamase enzyme and have mild antibiotic activity. when this combination is used, clavulanic acid inhibits beta lactamase enzyme and allow cefixime work as a bacteriocidal. the combination is very useful against cefixime resistant becteria. more research work is required to understand the further use of this combination and also to find out the superiority of this combination over Amoxi+Clav combination.
