Biochem/physiol Actions: | Amoxicillin trihydrate is a broad-spectrum, β-lactam antibiotic. It inhibits the cross-linkage between linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that are the major component of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Since amoxicillin is degraded by β-lactamases, it does not show activity against bacteria which produce these enzymes. Clavulanate is a β-lactam antibiotic related to the penicillins. Clavulanate competitively and irreversibly inhibits a wide variety of β-lactamases found in bacteria that are resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins. Formulations of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid prevent the degradation of amoxicillin by β-lactamase enzymes. This increases amoxicillin′s antibacterial activity against bacteria normally resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. |
