Amoxycillin works by interfering with the ability of bacteria to form cell walls. This action causes the walls to break down, leading to the death of the bacteria.

Scientifically, Amoxycillin binds to penicillin-binding proteins inside the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential component for bacterial cell wall integrity. This results in cell lysis and death of the bacteria.
