How It Works
Amoxicillin works by targeting the bacterial cell wall, a crucial component for bacterial survival. It inhibits the enzyme transpeptidase, which is involved in the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential polymer that provides structural integrity to the bacterial cell wall. By disrupting the formation of peptidoglycan, amoxicillin weakens the cell wall, causing it to rupture and ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria. This mechanism is effective against a broad range of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, making amoxicillin a versatile antibiotic for treating various infections.
