A member asked:
Can amoxicillin treat my ureaplasma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Penicillin work by essentially degrading the cell walls of bacteria causing the bacteria to leak out cell contents to kill it. Ureaplasma does not have a cell wall, only cell membrane. So, penicillins are not used to treat ureaplasma. http://pharmaxchange.info/press/2011/04/mechanism-of-action-of-penicillin/ https://www.zocdoc.com/answers/2542/what-is-ureaplasma
