Sulbenicillin (INN) is a penicillin antibiotic, notable for its combination use with dibekacin. Penicillins, crucial in primary healthcare for potent bactericidal properties and wide distribution, include oral options for enhanced accessibility. Post-World War II, synthetic penicillins like sulbenicillin broadened efficacy, leading to new groups that diversified treatment. This evolution reflects a dynamic interplay between science and clinical needs, emphasizing enduring value in managing infectious diseases in primary care.
