What is Ampicillin: Mechanism of Action Explained about?

Ampicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that has been used since 1961 to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, otitis media, and pneumonia. It works by inhibiting the final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis, which leads to cell lysis. While generally well-tolerated, it can potentially cause allergic reactions ranging from a rash to anaphylaxis. Ampicillin is also often used in molecular biology research to test if genes have been successfully uptake by bacteria.
