Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic. It is effective against streptococcus pneumoniae, hemolytic Streptococcus and other streptococci, Staphylococcus penicillinase, Enterococcus faecalis and other aerobic gram-positive bacteria. Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoea and other aerobic gram-negative strains of β-lactamase and Helicobacter pylori have good antibacterial activity. Amoxicillin plays a bactericidal role by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which can make bacteria dissolve and rupture quickly into spheroids.
