INDICATIONS
Ampicillin is used for treating infections caused by certain kinds of bacteria. Ampicillin is often a penicillin antibiotic. It works by killing sensitive bacteria by upsetting formation of the bacteria's cell wall even though it is growing. This weakens the cell wall plus it ruptures, resulting in the death from the bacteria.
