Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Chemical structure: ß-lactam_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Cephalothin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to study the mechanism of liposome encapsulated antibiotics, strategies for co-opting β-lactamases of Gram-negative bacteria for treatment of antibiotics, and for immunology studies in relation to antibiotics. It is used to study the effect of expression, binding and inhibition of penicillin-binding proteins especially PBP6 on bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Mode of Action: Disrupts the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls._x000D_ Antimicrobial spectrum: Effective aginast both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria._x000D_ Mode of Resistance: Production of cephalosporinase will inactivate the product._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep in a dry place.
