PHARMACOLOGY
MICROBIOLOGY
Amoxycillin is similar to ampicillin in its bactericidal action
against Gram-positive and Gram-negative
susceptible organisms during the stage of active multiplication. It
acts through the inhibition of
biosynthesis of the cell wall mucopeptide.
It is active _in vitro_ most strains of _Haemophilus influenzae*,
Neisseria gonorrhoeae*, N. meningitides*, _
_Escherichia coli*, Proteus mirabilis* _and Salmonellae. All strains
of Pseudomonas species, Klebsiella
species, Enterobacter species, indole positive Proteus species, _
Serratia marcescens,_ Citrobacter
species, penicillinase-producing _ N. gonorrhoeae_ and
penicillinase-producing _ H. influenzae_ are also
