Ampicillin is an effective bactericidal antibiotic of the penicillin group with a broad spectrum of antibacterial action. The active substance of the drug dissolves the walls of cells of pathogenic microorganisms. There is also a suppression of the exchange processes between the cells of microbes at the membrane level, which is disastrous for them. Under the influence of Ampicillin both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and some causative agents of intestinal infections are killed.
There are quite a few analogs of Ampicillin, consider some of them.
Analog Ampicillin - sulbactam
There are some microorganisms that, with the help of the isolated enzyme beta-lactamase, destroy penicillin, and therefore the drug is powerless against such bacteria. These include:
- staphylococci;
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa ;
- Klebsiella;
- enterobacteria.
In order to expand the scope of the drug, specialists have developed a drug that includes another important component that suppresses those bacteria resistant to penicillin that can not be blocked by the active substance Ampicillin - sulbactam.
These drugs include:
- Unazine (active ingredients - sodium ampicillin and sodium sulbactam);
- Ampioks (combination of ampicillin and oxacillin);
- Ampisulbin and others.
The above preparations are available in the form of a powder for the preparation of a solution for injecting.
