NIH Websites Are Changing
Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

relebactam monohydrate

The monohydrate form of relebactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, that can be used to inhibit the breakdown of certain drugs, such as the broad spectrum beta-lactam carbapenem antibiotic imipenem. Upon administration of relebactam monohydrate, relebactam targets, binds to and inhibits beta-lactamase. This reduces the breakdown of drugs, such as imipenem, and thereby increases the activity and therapeutic effect of such drugs that would otherwise be inactivated by beta-lactamase.
