Description

Ready Made Solution, 100 mg/mL in ethanol/water, 0.2 μm filtered

General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Packaging

1 mL in glass bottle

Application

Carbenicillin is used for selection of Ampicillin-resistant transformed cells. It is used to study the role of penicillin-sensitive transpeptidases in the process cell wall biosynthesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Carbenicillin is an ampicillin analog with structure related to benzyl penicillin. It is effective against Gram-negative bacteria and exhibits limited activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Carbenicillin binds and inhibits the enzymes involved in the synthesis of bacterial cell wall. Since carbenicillin is less sensitive to β-lactamases than ampicillin, it is effective against ampicillin-resistant bacteria. It has superior stability at low pH and acts as a selection agent. Effective concentration of carbenicillin: 50 to 100 μg/ml.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
