Final answer:

Amoxicillin disrupts the bacterial cell wall through inhibition of synthesis, causing lysis and death.


Explanation:

Disruption of the bacterial cell wall is the correct mechanism of action for amoxicillin when prescribed for a patient with peptic ulcer disease. Amoxicillin, being a penicillin derivative, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. This action is bactericidal and demonstrates selective toxicity since human cells do not make peptidoglycan.
