Abstract

Both avibactam and relebactam had better synergistic effects on β-lactams than clavulanic acid. The combination of tebipenem and relebactam showed the most potent activity against MDR-TB isolates. In addition, the Ser111Arg and Asn213Thr substitution of BlaC may be associated with an increased susceptibility of MDR-TB isolates to meropenem in the presence of clavulanate.
