Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor combined with penicillin group antibiotics to overcome certain types of antibiotic resistance.

In the graph below, the different steps for producing clavulanic acid in E. coli by importing heterologous genes are shown. Enzymes in dotted circles correspond to putative reactions based on signatures predictions.
