Farmaco. 1998 Dec 30;53(12):737-40. doi: 10.1016/s0014-827x(98)00092-5.

Abstract

Complexes of copper(II), nickel(II) and iron(III) with beta-lactamase inhibitor sulbactam have been synthesized, characterized and identified by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. These complexes have been then tested for their in vitro antibacterial activity in combination with ampicillin against various bacterial species.
