Antibiotics

Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum fourth generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It targets both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. In addition, it has been shown to combat methicillin-susceptible Staphylococci species as well as penicillin-resistant and penicillin-susceptible Pneumococci and Streptococci species.

Mupirocin lithium salt is a carboxylic acid isolated from Pseudomonas fluorescens. When at lower concentrations, it exhibits bacteriostatic properties, while exhibiting bactericidal properties at higher concentrations. It targets gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Mupirocin lithium salt has been used to study mupirocin resistance in Mycoplasma bacteria.

Nalidixic acid is a naphthyridone antibiotic that is similar in structure and mechanism to quinolones and is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It acts as a bacteriostatic in lower concentrations but can be bacteriocidal at higher concentrations. Nalidixic acid indirectly inhibits proteins synthesis by binding DNA and interfering with enzymes involved in DNA replication and transcription.

Neomycin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces species. It targets gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Neomycin can also be used as a selection agent for prokaryotic cells transformed with the neo gene or NPT II resistance gene and to study toxic antibacterial side effects. In addition, neomycin is a calcium channel protein inhibitor and DNase I inhibitor. It can be used in a variety of cell culture applications

Nigericin is an ionophore antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. It has been shown to suppress DNA synthesis in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma. Nigericin is insoluble in water, but soluble in methanol and chloroform.

Nigericin sodium disrupts membrane potential by acting as an antiporter of H+ and K+ ions by exchanging K+ for H+. This causes a rapid decrease in intracellular pH.

Nisin is a polypeptide antibiotic known as a lantibiotic. It has been isolated from Lactococcus lactis. Produced by gram-positive bacteria, the role of nisin is to reduce competitive strain due to the presence of other gram-positive bacteria.

Nitrofurantoin is a bacteriostatic, nitrofuran antibiotic targeting gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria such as Enterococci, Staphylococci, Streptococci, Corynebacterium, and E. Coli. It has been used to study nitrofurantoin bacterial susceptibility and nitrofurantoin-induced toxicity. Additionally, it is a substrate for bacterial nitrofuran reductase.

Nitrovin is a C-nitro compound with its NO2 group attached to a carbon atom. This reagent is a nitrofuran and guanidine which can be applied in chemistry as an organic building block.

Norfloxacin is a first generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic targeting primarily gram-negative bacteria responsible for causing urinary tract infections. It is a derivative of pefloxacin.

Nourseothricin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from Streptomyces noursei. In addition to being effective on prokaryotic cells of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, various fungi including Candida albicans, and certain DNA and RNA viruses, it is also effective on eukaryotic cells of higher eukaryotes. It has been used as a selection agent for cells containing the gene conferring resistance to it.

GoldBio nourseothricin is a mixture of four streptothricin compounds: D and F (>85%) as well as C and E (<15%).

Novobiocin Sodium Salt is an aminocoumarin antibiotic targeting gram-positive bacteria. It is used as a tool to produce positively-supercoiled plasmid DNA and in heat shock protein studies as it is an inhibitor of Hsp90.

Novobiocin functions as an competitive inhibitor of prokaryotic DNA gyrase and eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase II. By inhibition of these enzymes, novobiocin blocks DNA synthesis, ultimately causing cell death.

Ofloxacin is a second generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic targeting gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is an analog of nalidixic acid.

Oxolinic acid is a synthetic quinolone antibiotic targeting gram-negative bacteria, especially those responsible for causing urinary tract infections. It has also been reported to be effective against Burkholderia glumae, a bacteria causing grain rot, sheath rot, seedling rot, and bacterial panicle blight. It has been useful in studying transmissible resistance mechanisms of E. coli and S. enterica. It can be used to isolate Gardnerella vaginalis and as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor in neurological research.

Oxytetracycline is a tetracycline antibiotic derived from Streptomyces rimosus. It targets gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and several Mycoplasma species. Oxytetracycline has been used to study its resistance gene, otrA and in fluorescence analysis of liver cells.

Additionally, oxytetracycline is used as a selective agent in OGYE, a selective medium for yeasts and molds. It has been used to prevent fire blight in apples and pears and has been shown to be a better alternative to streptomycin against fire blight disease.

Paromomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces rimosus. It targets a variety of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as several protozoan species. It displays activity similar to that of neomycin. Paromomycin sulfate is freely soluble.

Perfloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic and is an analog of norfloxacin. It targets gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as several Mycoplasma species. It is commonly used against Gonococcal species and to induce achilles tendon toxicity in rodents.

Penicillin G is a β-lactam antibiotic produced by the Penicillium fungus. It has shown efficacy against a variety of Streptococcus species as well as non-penicillinase producing Staphylococcus species. The potassium salt is useful in studying Staphylococcus murosomes and Streptococcus mutans. This product has been tested against both sensitive and resistant cells.
