Featured Products
Carbenicillin disodium salt (CAS 4800-94-6) is a semi-synthetic β-lactam antibiotic commonly employed in biomedical research. As a β-lactam, it inhibits bacterial cell-wall biosynthesis by irreversibly binding and inactivating bacterial transpeptidase enzymes, thereby preventing the cross-linking of peptidoglycan layers required for cell wall integrity. Carbenicillin is predominantly utilized against gram-negative bacteria, although it also retains limited activity toward some gram-positive strains. Due to its resistance to β-lactamase-mediated degradation, carbenicillin can substitute ampicillin for selecting plasmids encoding the bla (ampicillin resistance) gene in bacterial cultures.
