Ampicillin

About Ampicillin
Semisynthetic Broad spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, Aminobenzylpenicillin Antibiotic
Mechanism of Action of Ampicillin
Ampicillin is a bactericidal drug. It is a Beta lactum antibiotic. It binds to the Penicillin binding protein in the cell wall of bacteria and inhibits the enzyme transpeptidase which is responsible for the transpeptidation reaction in peptidoglycan synthesis. It also activates the endogenous enzyme which degrades the peptidoglycan.These results in inhibition of protein synthesis and there by cell wall synthesis. Ampicillin is active against both gram positive and gram negative organism.
