1. Weakening and Exploding the Bacteria (Amoxicillin)
- Targeting the Cell Wall: Bacteria rely on a rigid outer structure called a cell wall to survive and withstand internal pressure.
- Stopping Repairs: Amoxicillin binds tightly to specific enzymes inside the bacteria, preventing them from building or repairing this protective wall.
- Cell Rupture: Without a stable wall, the internal pressure causes the bacterial cell to burst open (a process called lysis), which completely kills the bacteria.
