Ampicillin Powder for Suspension
Belonging to the penicillin group of beta-lactam antibiotics, Ampicillin is able to penetrate Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria.Ampicillin differs from penicillin only by the presence of an amino group. That amino group helps the drug penetrate the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria.
Ampicillin acts as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme transpeptidase, which is needed by bacteria to make their cell walls. Ampicillin inhibits the third and final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis in binary fission, which ultimately leads to cell lysis.The holes that appear in the cell walls allow the body's immune system to take over and fight off the bacteria.
