Product Description
Ampicillin is a b-lactam antibiotic with an amino group side chain attached to the penicillin structure. Ampicillin, which is a semi-synthetic derivative of penicillin, inhibits cell wall biosynthesis by inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking and is bactericidal only to growing cells. Cleavage of the b-lactam ring of ampicillin by b-lactamase results in bacterial resistance to this antibiotic.
