Bacterial cells can move by many ways, including "swimming" through water via the bacterial flagellum (although at the scale of a bacterial cell, the intermolecular forces between water molecules become so great that swimming would be more like drilling through sand or very thick mud). The bacterial flagellum has achieved some fame through the Intelligent Design movement as the poster boy ofirreducible complexity. However, science has now answered how the bacterial flagellum probably evolved (scientists have identified a structure very simple to the bacterial flagellum that injects poison into other cells) and Michael Behe's "theory" irreducible complexity is thoroughly debunked.

How do penicillen move?

Penicillin works by interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, weakening and ultimately causing the bacteria to burst. This disrupts the bacterial cell's ability to maintain its structure and ultimately leads to its death.

How do Almox (Amoxicillin) Tablets work?

Amoxicillin inhibits the formation of bacterial cell walls, which are essential for bacterial survival. Without a proper cell wall, bacteria cannot multiply and are eliminated by the body’s immune system. This makes Amoxicillin effective against a wide range of bacterial infections.
