Amoxicillin is used in the treatment of which of the following conditions?

  1. Pseudomonas aeruginosa

  2. Acute otitis media and H. pylori

  3. MSSA only

  4. Syphilis

The correct answer is: Acute otitis media and H. pylori

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections. In this case, the correct answer is option B. Amoxicillin is used in the treatment of acute otitis media (middle ear infection) and H. pylori infection, which is a common cause of stomach ulcers. Option A is incorrect because Amoxicillin is not effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Option C is incorrect because although Amoxicillin is active against Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), it is not the only condition it is used to treat. Option D is incorrect as Amoxicillin is part of the treatment regimen for syphilis, but it is not the only antibiotic used for this infection.
