Supplier:  Apexbio Technology LLC B16625.1

Ampicillin Trihydrate is a semi-synthetic -lactam antibiotic belonging to the aminopenicillin class characterized by its trihydrate molecular form enhancing its stability in aqueous solutions Mechanistically Ampicillin disrupts bacterial cell-wall synthesis by binding and inhibiting transpeptidase enzymes (also termed penicillin-binding proteins PBPs) thereby preventing the final cross-linking step essential in the bacterial peptidoglycan assembly Consequently bacterial cell-wall integrity is compromised resulting in cell lysis and death In biomedical research Ampicillin Trihydrate is commonly employed in molecular biology experiments as a selection agent to maintain plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance genes and as a tool in microbiological assays involving Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains
