Abstract

6-Aminopenicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide, esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo, and the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of these compounds, are useful for enhancing the effectiveness of certain .beta.-lactam antibiotics against certain .beta.-lactamase producing bacteria. Derivatives of 6-aminopenicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide protected by a conventional carboxy protecting group are useful intermediates to 6-aminopenicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide and esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo.
