Etymology
SK-Ampicillin is a brand name: the SK- part is a maker's prefix (a 'company label'), and ampicillin is a form of penicillin with an added amino part ('a small chemical piece'). So, think of SK-Ampicillin as a company's slightly changed penicillin, used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial infections.
