Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin antibiotic with a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. Amoxicillin is sensitive to the action of beta-lactamase and disintegrates under its influence, therefore, the spectrum of amoxicillin activity does not include microorganisms that synthesize this enzyme. Clavulanic acid has a beta-lactam structure similar to the structure of penicillins, and also has the ability to inactivate beta-lactamase enzymes produced by microorganisms resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins. In particular, it has a pronounced activity against plasmid beta-lactamases that are clinically important, which are often responsible for the emergence of cross-resistance to antibiotics. The presence of clavulanic acid as part of Augmentin protects amoxicillin from disintegration under the action of beta-lactamase enzymes and expands the spectrum of antibacterial action of amoxicillin, including many microorganisms resistant to amoxicillin and other penicillins and cephalosporins.
