Cefoperazone is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefina-SB is a combination of sulbactam and cefoperazone. Cefoperazone exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, and sulbactam acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, to increase the antibacterial activity of cefoperazone against beta-lactamase producing organisms. Cefina-SB is available as injection for the treatment of bacterial infections.
