CLOXAMOX

Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin (beta-lactam antibiotic) that inhibits one or more enzymes (often referred to as penicillin-binding proteins, PBPs) in the biosynthetic pathway of bactericidal peptidoglycan, which is an integral structural component of the bacterial cell wall. Inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis leads to weakening of the cell wall, which is usually followed by cell lysis and death.

Cloxacillin is a semi-synthetic beta-lactamase resistant penicillin with activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria including beta-lactamase producing staphylococci. Cloxacillin acts by interfering with the formation of new bacterial cell wall by dividing organisms.
