How it works: Amoxicillin is similar to benzyl penicillin in its bactericidal action against susceptible organisms during the stage of active multiplication. It acts through the inhibition of cell wall mucopeptide biosynthesis. Amoxicillin has a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. (Amoxicillin is, however, degraded by beta-lactamases and therefore the spectrum of For Medical Professional only 0.75g, 1.5g, 3g (Product Specs.: M.S.) activity does not normally include organisms which produce these enzymes. In particular, sulbactam has good inhibitory activity against the clinically important plasmid mediated beta-lactamases most frequently responsible for transferred drug resistance. Sulbactam has no effect on the activity of amoxicillin against amoxicillin susceptible strains. The presence of sulbactam in the formulation effectively extends the antibiotic spectrum of amoxicillin to include many bacteria normally resistant to it and to other beta-lactam antibiotics. Thus, it possesses the properties of a broad-spectrum antibiotic and a beta-lactamase inhibitor .
