AMOXICILLIN ACTION MECHANISM

Amoxicillin binds to penicillin-binding protein 1A (PBP-1A) located inside bacterial cell wall. Amoxicillin's action mechanism involves inhibition of third stage bacterial cell wall biosynthesis thereby preventing peptidoglycan cross-linking. Inability to synthesize cell wall leads to lyses of bacteria.
