Amoxycillin is bactericidal. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is essential for the survival of bacteria, i.e, it acts by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall.
Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Amoxycillin against bacteria. In other words, Sulbactam is an irreversible inhibitor of β-lactamase; by binding & inhibiting β-lactamase produced by bacterial cells, thereby able to prevent it from reducing antibiotic activity.
