Here are 5 usage examples based on the word "clawed":
Clavulanic acid is a naturally occurring beta-lactamase inhibitor, which is used in combination with penicillin-type antibiotics to increase their effectiveness against bacterial infections. It works by preventing the destruction of the antibiotic by bacteria, allowing the antibiotic to remain effective against the infection for a longer period of time. Clavulanic acid is often used in combination with amoxicillin, forming the antibiotic Augmentin, which is commonly used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory, urinary, and skin infections.
Clavus is a noun that refers to a nail or a spike. In anatomy, the clavus is also known as a collateral tuberosity, which is a bony projection on the medial surface of the calcaneus (heel bone).
