Skin and skin structure infections

Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by killing bacteria by interfering with the formation of their cell walls. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects ceftriaxone from being broken down by certain enzymes produced by bacteria, making it more effective against a wider range of bacteria.
