7 Pharmacological Actions

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic with good antibacterial activity against Streptococci such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and hemolytic Streptococcus, aerobic Gram-positive cocci such as non-penicillinase-producing Staphylococci and Enterococcus faecalis, non-lactamase-producing strains of aerobic Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Helicobacter pylori. Amoxicillin exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, causing the bacteria to quickly become spherical and then dissolve and rupture.
