• Disrupts Cell Wall Formation: Ampicillin interferes with the bacteria's ability to form its cell wall by binding to and deactivating enzymes responsible for synthesizing peptidoglycan, a crucial component of bacterial cell walls.
• Destroys Bacteria: By disrupting the formation of bacterial cell walls, ampicillin causes the bacteria to rupture and die. Hence, it directly kills bacteria rather than only inhibiting their growth. This bactericidal action makes it effective in managing various bacterial infections.
