Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid Mechanism of Action

Penicillin kills bacteria by binding its beta-lactam ring to transpeptidase, the enzyme that makes up the bacterial cell wall, preventing cell wall formation. Without a cell wall, the bacterial cell is vulnerable to external water and molecular pressure, leading to bacterial death.

Amoxicillin is similar to penicillin in its bactericidal action.

Clavulanic acid belongs to a class of medications called beta-lactamase inhibitors, an enzyme produced by bacteria to destroy certain antibiotics. It works by preventing bacteria from destroying amoxicillin.
