Ampicillin sodium targets non-ESBL (Extended Spectrum β-lactamase) bacteria including Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species and medically important enteric pathogens such as Shigella and Salmonella.It has been found to be effective against certain β-lactam sensitive VRE or vancomycin resistant Enterococcus species.
