Amoxicillin is a penicillin-like broad spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. Sold per capsule.
Amoxicillin is a synthetic penicillin-type antibiotic, which is effective in treating a range of infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Dogs, Cats, Horses, Birds, and Fish
-Amoxicillin is very useful for the treatment and prevention of a wide variety of bacterial infections.
Amoxicillin binds to penicillin-binding protein 1A (PBP-1A) located inside the bacterial cell well. Penicillins acylate the penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain by opening the lactam ring. This inactivation of the enzyme prevents the formation of a cross-link of two linear peptidoglycan strands, inhibiting the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that amoxicllin interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.
