Detailed explanation-1: -Ampicillin is used to treat certain infections that are caused by bacteria such as meningitis (infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord); and infections of the throat, sinuses, lungs, reproductive organs, urinary tract, and gastrointestinal tract.
Detailed explanation-2: -Amoxicillin and ampicillin are penicillin-type antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections of the middle ear and respiratory tract, and to treat gonorrhea. Amoxicillin is also used to treat bacterial infections of the tonsils, throat, larynx (laryngitis), urinary tract, and skin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ampicillin binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity.
