Thermo Fisher, J62690.06, Cefotaxime sodium salt

Quantity: 5 g
Unit Size: Each
General Information• The cefotaxime sodium salt is a - lactamase considered a third-generation cephalosporin with antibiotic and bactericidal activities• This compound exerts its biological activity by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall leading to their inactivation. The inactivation of these proteins affects the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains required for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity, resulting in the weakening of cell walls and cell lysis.Applications• It is an efficient antibacterial compound that acts against gram-negative bacteria, without activity against gram-positive bacteria such as pseudomonas and penicillin-resistant strains of streptococcus pneumonia• It has been used for plant cell culture and human cell lines in vitro• Cefotaxime sodium salt has been used in antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods• Cefotaxime sodium salt is also used to remove bacteria from Ostreococcus tauri cultures
