<unk>  is a beta-lactam antibiotic which binds to penicillin binding proteins, or transpeptidases. By binding to PBPs,<unk>  prevents the PBPs from forming the cross-linkages between the peptidoglycan layers that make up the bacterial cell wall, thereby interfering with cell wall synthesis. It is a strong beta-lactamase inducer, as are certain other antibiotics (such as imipenem). However,<unk>  is a better substrate than imipenem for beta-lactamases.
