Antibiotics

Gold Biotechnology offers more than 200 unique antibiotic agents for use in a wide variety of cell culture, microbiology and molecular biology applications. Antibiotic agents are often clinically used to inhibit bacterial growth or kill bacteria as selection markers in agar or liquid media. The first commercially available antibiotics were developed in the 1930s, starting with the sulfonamides in 1932 and exploded later with the discovery of penicillin in 1942. Gold Biotechnology’s antibiotics cover 14 classes, including aminoglycosides, carbapenems, macrolides, penicillins, quinolones, sulfonamides and tetracyclines, as well as multiple generations of cephalosporin antibiotics.

Cefteram pivoxil

Catalog ID Size Pricing
C-445-10 10 mg $ 570.00

Description

Cefteram pivoxil is a semi-synthetic third generation cephalosporin antibacterial that is a prodrug ester of cefteram. It has been seen to express greater bactericidal predominantly against gram-negative bacteria. Cefteram pivoxil has also induced IgE antibody immune responses during in vivo immunology studies.

Cephalosporins are a type of β-lactam antibiotic consisting of a four-membered β-lactam ring bound to a six-membered dihydrothiazine ring. This two-ring system causes distortion of the β-lactam amide bond, resulting in decreased resonance stabilization and increased reactivity. β-lactams inhibit the formation of peptidoglycan cross-links within bacterial cell walls by targeting penicillin-binding proteins or PBPs. Consequently, the bacterial cell wall becomes weak and cytolysis occurs. Cephalosporins are less susceptible to β-lactamases than the penicillin β-lactam antibiotics.

Antibiotics are often used in clinical in vitro tests known as antimicrobial susceptibility tests or ASTs to determine their efficacy against certain bacterial species. They are tested against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria using panels, discs, and MIC strips by medical microbiologists. ASTs decrease the risk of using an antibiotic against bacteria exhibiting resistance to it, and the results are used in clinical settings to determine which antibiotic(s) to prescribe for various infections.

Description

Ceftriaxone free acid is a β-lactam cephalosporin compound known for its potent antibiotic activity against gram negative and gram positive bacteria. It also has been observed to cross the blood brain barrier and has been used for both antibiotic and investigative purposes for the central nervous system (CNS).

Ceftriaxone has also been used in vivo for suppressing addictive behavior in rats. Researchers had shown ceftriaxone to upregulate glutamate transporter 1 (GLT1) expression, which diminishes glutamate concentration in synaptic clefts of the CNS. Ceftriaxone has been shown to effectively decrease glutamate levels which prevents hyper-stimulation of glutamic receptors and concurrently withdrawal symptoms.

Description

Cetylpyridinium chloride is a cationic quaternary ammonium compound that has been used to eliminate oral pathogens. It has shown a high degree of efficacy towards gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria and some pathogenic fungi.

Cetylpyridinium chloride functions as a surfactant, reducing the surface tension between pathogenic membranes and their environments. Greater interaction between the membrane and environment disrupts the cell membrane and osmoregulation. Compromising the membrane ultimately results in cell death.

Description

Chlorhexidine is a cationic polybisbiguanide used as a detergent as well as a bactericidal, anti-viral and antifungal agent. It has been used against an array of oral pathogens, with a high effectiveness toward gram-negative bacteria.

Chlorhexidine, when placed into physiological pH, dissociates into its cationic form and binds to the negatively charged bacterial wall. This binding will cause cytosolic leakage at low concentrations and lytic effects at high chlorohexidine concentrations. However, chlorhexidine activity can be halted upon interaction with anionic compounds.

Description

Chlorhexidine HCl is the cationic salt form of chlorhexidine, a bactericidal detergent. Chlorhexidine HCl has strong bactericidal activity and is used for in vitro bactericidal assays as a positive control.

The compound functions as a bactericidal agent by interacting with the negatively charged bacterial cell wall. Contact of the cationic salt with the cell wall causes cytosolic leakage at low chlorohexidine HCl concentrations and cell lysis at higher concentrations. Duration of antibacterial effects has been shown to be enhanced by incorporating chlorhexidine HCl into human albumin microspheres. This lengthened antibacterial activity against Escheria coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
