Description
Piperacillin Sodium is the sodium salt of piperacillin, an extended-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic derived from ampicillin. It inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking and compromising cell wall integrity.
The sodium salt form provides a convenient option for preparing aqueous antibiotic solutions and incorporating piperacillin into microbiological experiments. This molecular biology grade reagent is well suited for bacterial growth inhibition, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, β-lactam resistance research, and studies examining the activity of β-lactamases and penicillin-binding proteins.
Piperacillin exhibits activity against a broad range of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and is frequently used in research involving antimicrobial activity and resistance.
