About this item
DESCRIPTION:

Amoxicillin is a comprehensive antibiotic that treats a broad range of infections in a number of animal species. It inhibits the growth of bacteria by preventing cell wall formation within the cells of bacteria. It should only be used to treat bacterial infections.

Key Benefits:

  • Amoxicillin binds to PBP-1A (a penicillin-building protein) in the cell wall of bacteria.
  • When Penicillin acylases with the transpeptidase C-terminal domain, which is penicillin-sensitive, the lactase ring is opened.
  • Hindering the third and last stage of the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, two linear peptidoglycan strands cross-link to stop development by inactivating that enzyme.
  • Amoxicillin can hinder through an autolysin inhibitor.
  • Cell lysis mediation is accomplished through autolytic cell wall enzymes, such as autolysins.

    Formulated For: Amoxicillin is used for dogs, cats, horses, birds and fish.
