    Amoxicillin : Potassium Clavulanate (2:1)

    ₩168,597.00 - ₩283,156.50

    Amoxicillin:Potassium Clavulanate (2:1) is a combination of Amoxicillin (one part) and Potassium Clavulanate (Clavulanic Acid)(two parts) which prevents the degradation of Amoxicillin by β-lactamase enzymes and allows for greater efficacy against β-lactam resistant strains.

    Amoxicillin is an extended-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic similar in structure to Ampicillin. Resistance to Amoxicillin is due to β-lactamase enzymes found in resistant strains.

    Potassium Clavulanate, produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus, is a β-lactamase inhibitor which can irreversibly inactivate β-lactamase enzymes.

    Amoxicillin:Potassium Clavulanate (2:1) is freely soluble in water.

    We also offer:

    • Amoxicillin Trihydrate (A004)
    • Amoxicillin Sodium (A059)
     
    Mechanism of Action Like all β-lactams, Amoxicillin targets PBP’s (penicillin binding proteins) involved in the final phase of peptidoglycan synthesis. PBP’s are enzymes which catalyze a pentaglycine crosslink between alanine and lysine residues. Without a pentaglycine crosslink, the integrity of the cell wall is severely compromised ultimately leading to the death of the cell.
    Spectrum Amoxicillin targets a wide range of β-lactamase negative Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including E. coli and a number of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species. Because peptidoglycan is synthesized in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, Amoxicillin can be used against a wide variety of microbes. Clavulanate competitively and irreversibly inhibits a wide variety of β-lactamases found in bacteria that are resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins.
    Microbiology Applications Amoxicillin is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options.  Representative MIC values include:
    • Neisseria gonorrhoeae 0.3 µg/mL - 32 µg/mL
    • Haemophilus influenzae 0.125 µg/mL - >64 µg/mL
