Amoxicillin trihydrate (CAT: I004317) is a widely used antibiotic belonging to the penicillin class. It is a bacteriolytic agent, meaning it kills bacteria by interfering with their cell wall synthesis. Amoxicillin inhibits the transpeptidase enzyme, which is responsible for cross-linking the peptidoglycan chains in the bacterial cell wall. This disruption weakens the cell wall, leading to cell lysis and bacterial death. Amoxicillin is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it useful for treating various infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections.
