Features

Ampicillin Sodium is the sodium salt form of ampicillin, a broad-spectrum semisynthetic derivative of aminopenicillin. Ampicillin sodium inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding proteins, thereby inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis, a critical component of the bacterial cell wall.

Applications

Ampicillin Sodium is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections.  It is a penicillin-type antibiotic.  It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. These antibiotic treats only bacterial infections.  It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu).

Kills growing cells by interfering with the terminal reaction in bacterial wall synthesis. Active against Gram-negative bacteria. Inactivated by lactamases. Suitable for use in research that uses ampicillin-resistant plasmids.
