General Description

• Carbenicillin disodium salt is a semisynthetic compound with antibacterial and β-lactamase-resistant activities and is effective against gram-negative bacteria
• In in vitro studies, carbenicillin disodium salt can totally suppress the proliferation of Agrobacterium

Application

• Due to its antibacterial activity this compound can be used to control bacterial cell wall synthesis by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane. This can lead to incomplete bacterial cell wall synthesis to eventually cause cell lysis
• It has also been used in studies to evaluate the role of penicillin-sensitive transpeptidases in cell wall biosynthesis
