General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Ampicillin Trihydrate is commonly used to select for ampicillin resistance in mutated and transformed cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A β-lactam antibiotic with an amino group side chain attached to the penicillin structure. Penicillin derivative that inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis (peptidoglycan cross-linking) by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane. Bactericidal only to growing Escherichia coli . Mode of resistance: Cleavage of β-lactam ring of ampicillin by β-lactamase. Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

The determination of ampicillin in plasma and serum by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection suffers from poor selectivity and sensitivity. Currently, the most common approach to overcoming these problems consists of improving the compound's detectability via pre- or
