Mechanism of Action
PIVAMPICILLIN
Ampicillin (the active metabolite of pivampicillin) has a bactericidal action resulting from inhibition of cell wall mucopeptide biosynthesis
PIVMECILLINAM
Pivmecillinam interferes with the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall however its activity is slightly different from that of other penicillins and cephalosporins
