Amoxicillin disrupts the bacterial cell wall through inhibition of synthesis, causing lysis and death.
Disruption of the bacterial cell wall is the correct mechanism of action for amoxicillin when prescribed for a patient with peptic ulcer disease. Amoxicillin, being a penicillin derivative, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. This action is bactericidal and demonstrates selective toxicity since human cells do not make peptidoglycan.
