Can amoxicillin cure a bacterial infection? (bv)
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Potentially : If the bacteria is susceptible to amoxicillin, then yes, that antibiotic can kill it. Cure depends on how far advanced the infection is and the functionality of the patient's immune system.

No: Amoxicillin is not an appropriate antibiotic for bacterial vaginosis. Flagella (Metronidazole) or Clindamycin are the usual medications.
