One approach to combat drug resistance in bacteria is to combine drugs to treat bacterial infections. For example, ampicillin, a beta-lactam antibiotic, is combined with clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Describe how these two drugs would act together to be more effective to treat a bacterial infection.
