General description

Chemical structure: β-lactam

Application

Amoxicillin is used to study the oxygen dependent antimicrobial systems of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs), the risk of resistance development in Helicobacter pylori, and various dosing strategies against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pneumococcal pneumonia . It is also used to study the synthesis of bacterial cell walls at the level of peptidoglycan polymer chain cross-linking involving bacterial transpeptidase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum, β-lactam antibiotic. It is a 4-hydroxy analog of ampicillin with similar ranges of actions and utility to ampicillin. Amoxicillin inhibits the cross-linkage between linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that are the major component of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

A multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolate recovered in Australia produced a carbapenem-hydrolyzing β-lactamase. Molecular investigations revealed the first identification of the bla(NDM-1) metallo-β-lactamase gene in that country. In addition, this E. coli isolate expressed the extended-spectrum β-lactamase CTX-M-15, together with two

A chromosomally encoded class D beta-lactamase, OXA-114, was characterized from Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain CIP69598. beta-Lactamase OXA-114 shared 56% amino acid identity with the naturally occurring class D beta-lactamase of Burkholderia cenocepacia and 42% identity with the acquired oxacillinases OXA-9 and

The characterization of AmpC-type beta-lactamases was performed in a collection of 32 clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates with intermediate susceptibility or resistance to imipenem and ceftazidime. Twenty-one out of those 32 isolates overexpressed AmpC beta-lactamase, and the MICs of ceftazidime and

Amoxicillin and clarithromycin have been proven to be effective in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia. This study investigated the in vivo bactericidal efficacy of a novel, pulsatile dosing strategy for amoxicillin and clarithromycin, when used as monotherapy and combination therapy.

Antibiotic resistance genes are spread mostly through plasmids, integrons (as a form of gene cassettes), and transposons in gram-negative bacteria. We describe here a novel genetic structure, named the integron mobilization unit (IMU), that has characteristics similar to those of
