β-Lactamase inhibitor sulbactam has unique activity against Acinetobacter baumannii, but its direct target protein has not been fully elucidated. In this research, thermal proteome profiling and surface plasmon resonance technologies were applied to identify and validate RNA 5′ pyrophosphohydrolase (RppH) as the direct target of sulbactam against A. baumannii. And further, using the checkerboard method, we found that sulbactam could synergize with carbapenem antibiotics to battle A. baumannii. The research results supplement the new molecular mechanism of action of sulbactam and provide an effective combined regimen for its combination with other antibiotics to combat clinical intractable drug-resistant bacteria infections.
