The combination of ampicillin and cloxacillin has additive action. Ampicillin possesses antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Cloxacillin is active against Penicillin G resistant staphylococci. Both beta-lactam antibiotics bind to membrane bound proteins known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBP’s) and are bactericidal.
