Ampicillin, a member of the extended-spectrum β-lactam family, is a semisynthetic derivative of penicillin widely employed as a versatile broad-spectrum antibiotic. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting the crucial peptidoglycan synthesis process essential for bacterial cell wall formation.
