Description : Carbenicillin inhibits the cell-wall synthesis (peptidoglycan cross-linking) by
inactivating transpeptidase on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane.
Carbenicillin is a white to slightly yellow, hygroscopic powder soluble in water
and in alcohol. Carbenicillin is most effective against gram-negative bacteria but
may also have some effect against gram-positive bacteria. Aqueous solutions of
Carbenicillin are stable for 24 hours at room temperature and up to 72 hours
when stored at 0-5C.
Carbenicillin is recommended for use in place of ampicillin to maintain the
selective marker bla (b-lactamase or ampicillin resistance)
Carbenicillin is soluble in water and alcohol at 50mg/ml.
Recommended working concentrations up to 500g/ml
antibiotic
keep dry
store at 4C, warm to room temperature before opening
