Supplier: Research Products International Corp S925001.0
Spectinomycin Sulfate is an antibiotic that belongs to the class of aminocyclitol antibiotics and is effective against a variety of Gram-negative bacteria. It is frequently used as a selective agent in genetic engineering and gene expression studies.
Researchers incorporate Spectinomycin Sulfate into growth media to selectively allow the growth of cells or organisms that have been genetically modified to carry a resistance gene for Spectinomycin. This resistance gene enables the cells to survive and reproduce in the presence of Spectinomycin, while non-transformed cells are inhibited.
Spectinomycin Sulfate is known for its effectiveness against certain antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, making it a valuable tool in research. It works by interfering with protein synthesis in bacteria, ultimately leading to cell death.
