How Amoxicillin And Clavulanic Acid Work:

Penicillin kills bacteria by attaching its beta-lactam ring to transeptidase, the enzyme that makes up bacteria’s cell wall, preventing cell wall formation. Without the cell wall, the bacterial cell is exposed to external water and molecular stressors, resulting in bacterial death.

Amoxicillin is similar to penicillin in its bacterial effect

Clavulanic acid belongs to a class of drugs called beta-lactamase inhibitors, an enzyme produced by bacteria to destroy certain antibiotics, thus preventing bacteria from destroying amoxicillin.
