PHARMACOLOGY:
Ampicillin, a semisynthetic penicillin, is similar to benzylpenicillin
in its bactericidal action against
sensitive organisms during the stage of active multiplication. It acts
through the inhibition of biosynthesis of
cell wall mucopeptide.
Ampicillin differs in vitro spectrum from benzylpenicillin in the
gram-negative spectrum. It exerts high in
vitro activity against many strains of H. influenzae, N. gonorrhoeae,
N. meningitidis, B. catarrhalis, E.
coli,
P. mirabilis, B. funduliformis, Salmonellae and Shigellae.
In vitro studies have also demonstrated the sensitivity of many
strains of the following gram positive
bacteria: alpha-and beta-hemolytic streptococci, S. pneumoniae,
non-beta-lactamase (penicillinase)-
producing staphylococci, B. anthracis, and most strains of enterococci
and clostridia. Ampicillin generally
provides less in vitro activity than penicillin G against gram
positive bacteria. Because it does not resist
destruction by beta-lactamase, it is not effective against
beta-lactamase-producing bacteria, particularly
resistant staphylococci. All strains of Pseudomonas and most strains
of Klebsiella and Aerobacter are
resistant. Ampicillin is not active against Rickettsia, Mycoplasma and
'large viruses' (Chiamydia).
Ampicillin is acid stable and therefore, well absorbed. Food, however,
retards absorption. Ampicillin
diffuses readily into most body tissues and fluids; however,
penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid and
brain occurs only with meningeal inflammation. Ampicillin is excreted
largely unchanged in the urine; its
excretion can be delayed by concurrent administration of probenecid.
In blood serum, ampicillin is the
least
bound of all the
