Mode of Action

Augment® Vet powder is a broad spectrum bactericidal antibiotic that belongs to the betalactam group. Amoxicillin trihydrate powder interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis by inhibiting transpeptidase and carboxipeptidase enzymes and by binding with the "Penicillin binding protein" of bacteria. As a result, osmotic disorder occurs in the cell of bacteria and thus bacteria are destroyed. On the other hand, Clavulanic acid is a beta lactamase inhibitor, used in conjunction with beta-lactamase susceptible antibiotics to treat infections caused by betalactamase producing organisms.
