  Ampicillin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ampicillin is an aminopenicillin and, as such, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and has been used extensively to treat bacterial infections since 1961.
Ampicillin is closely related to Amoxicillin, another type of penicillin, and both are used to treat urinary tract infections, otitis media, uncomplicated community acquired pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, invasive salmonella and Listeria meningitis.
Ampicillin is often used in molecular biology as a test for the uptake of genes (e.g., by plasmids) by bacteria (e.g., E.

Ampicillin trihydrate is a broad-spectrum semi-synthetic penicillin that is effective in the treatment of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections produced by Streptococcus, Bacillus anthracis, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Escherichia coli.
In male and female mice, ampicillin trihydrate administration was associated with increased incidences of forestomach lesions, including ulcers, inflammation, hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and evidence of fungal infection.
Ampicillin trihydrate was not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, or TA1537 in the presence or absence of Aroclor 1254-induced male Syrian hamster or male Sprague-Dawley rat liver S9 when tested according to preincubation protocol.

Ampicillin sodium is reportedly incompatible with the following additives: amikacin sulfate, chlorpromazine HCl, dopamine HCl, erythromycin lactobionate, gentamicin HCl, hydralazine HCl, hydrocortisone sodium succinate, kanamycin sulfate, lincomycin HCl, oxytetracycline HCl, polymyxin B sulfate, prochlorperazine edisylate, sodium bicarbonate and tetracycline HCl.
Ampicillin is approximately 20% bound to plasma pro­teins, primarily albumin.
Ampicillin is eliminated primarily through renal mechanisms, principally by tubular secretion, but some of the drug is metabolized by hydrolysis to penicilloic acids (inactive) and then excreted in the urine.

Similar in action to penicillin G--the most widely used natural penicillin--ampicillin (or alpha-aminobenzylpenicillin) is more stable in stomach acids and therefore may be given orally; it is also more active against certain strains of bacteria.
The incidence of skin rashes is higher with ampicillin than with other penicillins, a factor that suggests a possible toxic reaction, as well as a truly allergic response.

 Ampicillin and Chloramphenicol Resistance in Systemic Haemophilus influenzae Disease
She was treated with ampicillin and chloramphenicol for 72 hours and then changed to chloramphenicol alone for 9 more days after the initial Hib isolate was demonstrated to be B-lactamase positive.
Ampicillin resistance among HI isolates from reported cases of bacterial meningitis varied from 19% in 1978 to 24% in 1981-1982.
However, the substantial rise in prevalence of ampicillin resistance in the past decade, and similarities in mechanisms mediating ampicillin and chloramphenicol resistance, suggest the possibility that chloramphenicol resistance alone or combined with ampicillin resistance could emerge as a more prevalent problem.

Ampicillin does't actually kill the cells -- it merely prevents the formation of a cell wall and thus prevents cell division.
When you mix ampicillin with bacteria before plating, all that happens is the bacteria are chilling out waiting for that ampicillin to diffuse into the agar, thus decreasing the concentration to the point where even non-resistant cell can grow.
