Cefepime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills bacteria by interfering with the formation of their cell walls, causing them to rupture and die. Enmetazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents certain bacterial enzymes from breaking down cefepime, making the antibiotic more effective against resistant bacteria. Together, they help fight a wide range of bacterial infections by both killing bacteria and overcoming resistance mechanisms.
